Episode Transcript
It's time for Nina's what's trending.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
There are some changes coming to your favorite platforms, and
I'm talking about TikTok and YouTube. However, they could be
good things. So with TikTok, they're starting something called footnotes.
So that's already kind of been done on X and Meta.
But the idea is is that you can give added
context to any controversial post.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
So if there's some type of video.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Or something that gets posted, then there's going to be
able to be context underneath of it to kind of
explain what it is or give you a warning or
something along those lines. It kind of explains more of
what you're watching.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Part.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
I thought footnotes were usually like a link to like
an original source or something.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Which would also because that too, that's okay, cool, cool cool.
Well yeah, because I think in actually like journalism, footnotes
is exactly what that is.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
It's citing your sources. Yeah, because that is a problem.
I'd be swiping and I'm going, that's not even true.
And then you see that that video has got twenty
million like and that the original one has.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Like yeah, I know, like what yeah, man, that's the
use the footnotes. But here we are again. You can
see the same thing. We need them more now than ever. Yeah,
we do actually fact check everything.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Also, YouTube is getting ready to start age gating, so
they basically don't want people under eighteen watching YouTube shorts.
But they have this new technology, so they're not trusting you.
When you enter your birthday, it's like, okay, that's cool,
you can tell us how old you are, but.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Now we're watching you.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
So the things that you choose to watch, all of
that is going to give them an age estimation, which
is the tool that they're using now to verify your
age based off of these indicators. So I read this though,
and I immediately started thinking of you o Jubile and
Victoria because you already watch yeah like Childred, random things
(01:45):
that you're gonna end up getting blocked just because you
decided to go back and watch Scooby Doo exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Mess up.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
It'll just make you upload your ID at that point. Yeah, Like,
there's a way to verify an account, right everything Meta
does it all lot, Yeah, maybe TikTok does it, but
you just do a copy of you do like a
facial recognition and a copy of your idea or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah, Okay, so then like, if you're under eighteen, you
wouldn't know that you could do that verify because you can't.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
You would be okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
So the childlike adult will have to go extra steps
and the like you what, you're this old and you
watch this stuff?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
We have more questions. Now, have you not finished Dora?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Flora?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Oh my gosh, if I worked, I wasn't look the
other day just because she's so loud, and I was
just thinking about how loud she is, and I just
wanted to hear her be like.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Where's the map? Just like screaming. She screams everything does
Oh it's over here. You know so much about Dora. Yeah,
she's super loud.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I think there's a lot of judging going on if
you work at any of these platforms, because it's way
too easy just to see what everybody's doing. Lastly, speaking
of judging, there's a Florida man. Now, this guy, he's
being judged me. He's just trying to be an entrepreneur
in these streets. This Florida man has been accused of
stealing Smoking the Bear signs and selling them online on
Facebook Marketplace. He's been going all around Florida just plucking
(03:10):
any smoky the bear sign he can find, which is
I guess owned by the government or whatever.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah, so I know that you're seeing things like plucking
and grabbing and things like it.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
He's stealing.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Yeah, he's stealing signs and selling them for profit for.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Nineteen hundred dollars each the Florida WHOA. That's a good
hourly wage.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, it is.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Although if you've never tried to steal a sign, they're
they're not easy, not easy.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
They are not easy. They are not easy.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I tried to steal a speed humps sign one time.
Took me three hours. I got it to get it, Yeah,
I got it.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah. I gave it as a gift to a friend
of mine that was nice to be. He put it
above his bed. I didn't want that. I thought the
law was going to come give it.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
We tried to steal a stop sign when I was
in high school that had already fallen down, and then
we had it for the longest time, and then people
were like really looking for it.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
It's really they were like looking for.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
They changed all the signs still sign No, Yeah, they
changed all the signs in my hometown to uh speed
bumps because people are taking hump and they were stealing
them all. Yeah, they're taking all of them. Understanding Yeah,
because the way it's just fun. I got so scared
as soon as the sign came down. I was like, oh, your.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Car, put in your car, comps driving by, jumping in
the ditch for a wild night. I'm too pretty to
be in jail. I'm not signing become a reality for it.
