Consumer Tech Expert Eugene Wei - We have God-like search and distribution and Paleolithic emotions
b'Like many of you I have a bunch of Google alerts set up on certain topics, with one of them being TikTok. I\\u2019m not even on really on TikTok, but I began tracking it a while back because all of the hype surrounding it, and then when a friend of mine told me about how his son had only been on it a couple months \\u2013 doing a few videos making different things out of boxes - had over 60K followers - I got even more curious, which is why I did a conversation with him for this series not that long ago. By the way he\\u2019s now over 70K followers\\u2026.\\n\\nBut then last month I got a series of Google alerts about something I hadn\\u2019t seen coming \\u2013 that TikTok had surpassed YouTube in viewer time per user. And that really grabbed my attention, as I watch a bunch of YouTube videos for a variety of reasons. And with my interest growing in understanding the draw TikTok was having, my CRM Playaz co-host introduced me to, without a doubt, the most thorough and insightful series of posts on TikTok that is out on the web. And after reading them we both wanted to speak to their author, consumer and entertainment technology expert Eugene Wei, to dig in a bit more on what TikTok is doing and how they\\u2019re different than the other major social networking platforms.'
