Joe Rogan and MrBeast accuse TikTok of spying on them MrBeast: YOutube Joe Rogan: YoutubeJoe Rogan and Jimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson have gone off on TikTok in a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience (JRE). Calling the app \u201cinvasive, addicting, sketchy\u201d and accusing the app of spying on users throughout their daily lives. MrBeast is a giant in the YouTube community. The prolific 23-year-old content wizard has conquered the platform, sitting with a comfortable 91.5 million subscribers and billions of views across his network of videos and programs. He\u2019s easily one of the largest YouTube channels around, so he knows his fair share about social media success. During the March 7 episode of the Spotify-hosted JRE, Joe Rogan and MrBeast get stuck into discussions on just that. Breaking down his immense popularity and whether success on YouTube leads into success on other platforms. During this discussion, MrBeast went on to say that his focus is pretty defined: \u201c90% of my work goes into YouTube, 1-2% is TikTok,\u201d he explained. Joe Rogan responded saying he doesn\u2019t have a deliberate presence on TikTok, but that it\u2019s something he may look at doing. \u201cI guess at a certain point in time I should step in and do something on Tik Tok. But TikTok is such a sketchy f***ing application.\u201d Letting loose on the topic, Rogan and Jimmy went back and forth on stories of how they felt about the app\u2019s alleged open door into the backend of your phone. Rogan asked \u201cYou ever seen the breakdown these software engineers have done on TikTok? Of how intrusive it is?\u201d Clarifying this statement, he said that engineers declared it to be \u201cthe single most disturbing piece of software they\u2019ve ever had to engineer, the amount of cross-platform spying it does.\u201d (Topic begins at 42:16) Adding anecdotal evidence of his experience on TikTok, MrBeast said that he\u2019s noticed the app listening to his conversations throughout the day. \u201cI have had instances where I would say certain things in conversations and then later that night I would get in my feed something similar,\u201d he explained. \u201cLike if I talk about dogs a lot and then weirdly start getting TikToks about dogs. I have noticed that kind of stuff. \u201c MrBeast went on to state that as he travels, TikTok will always know where he is \u201cIf you travel to a different state, like even now in Texas, like my TikTok feed will be a lot more Texas content, it\u2019s definitely location-based.\u201d Closing out his thoughts on the app, Jimmy did say that he had recently deleted the app from his phone, but not for security purposes. \u201cTikTok can be pretty addicting, I actually recently uninstalled it just cause\u2026 Even though my TikTok is mostly like gym and, actually, finance stuff. I found I was spending two hours a day on TikTok, that\u2019s when I uninstalled it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
