      The challenges are just the worst too. Not to mention the "dances" that are literally bottom of the barrel stuff. But still, the number one reason to dump Tiktok is privacy. They're the worst sellers of data mined from your account. It's nuts. Not that FB etc. are any better, but still.

    Searching for travel advice is the worst nowadays since no matter the platform, it's so saturated with videos from influencers doing an "ultimate guide to [place] in 2023!" video and then it turns out to just be a glorified vlog of them just visiting all the top attractions on Tripadvisor and regurgitating everything they've been told about it uncritically. I wish every city had someone like you guys.

      ​@@PradedaCech Plenty of guidebooks just contain places that have paid to be in there. They also become out of date very quickly - if I want to know the current price and opening hours of somewhere, then their website is going to be the best place to look. Also, online reviews can give you a less biased outlook on a place.
      Guidebooks are fine for getting basic ideas, but you still need to do proper research about the place you're visiting.

    I recently turned 36 and I believe there's a growing disconnect between us millenials and the new generation. We have seen and know a lot of things that the youngest generation thinks is new or unique or special. I look for information, read websites, reviews etc. It feels the youngest generation just goes off of hearsay from tiktok videos or shorts. With the short form content, there's no time to spend longer than a minute looking for information. Just swipe to the next video and the next and before you know it, you're an expert of (mis)information.

Not all, but A LOT tend not to read and get their knowledge from videos(without talking notes). So, information doesn't stick, they rely on their smart phones and generations get dumber and dumber. Now they even have chat gpt to do their homework . I swear to God "Idiocracy" was actually a true story written by a time traveler and given to Mike Judge.

    He really wanted to go inside so I asked the bouncer (in Czech) if there was a cover charge.
    The bouncer told me not to go inside. I asked why I'm not allowed inside. He just laughed and said I can come in but it's shit inside, only full of American and British tourists, and he only told me this because I spoke Czech.
    We decided to hit a local pub instead (which was my suggestion from the beginning) which was far more enjoyable.

    The smoking ban was far before in Turkey, but the official situation and the unofficial situation can be very different. You cannot imagine how many loopholes people can find. The biggest being "the garden" or "outside area" where it's just one tent and a tiny opening on a glass roof, it's only open space on paper. Some places outright don't obey the ban, unless they spot an auditor or something.

    This is why we don't watch Tiktok when we do research on new places to travel to. We have been to Prague in the past and plan on going back in December and we use Google, CZcams and Trip Advisor long before we leave home. With all there is to see in Prague why would you spend any time to go to a crappy bar. Get away from the tourist traps in the Old Town Square and get in the outlying areas. This pretty much applies to almost every town we have visited in Europe. We travel to Europe 2 to 3 times a year. Tiktok is for instant gratification not for serious research.

    It's sad to see the amount of spread tourist traps have given time in large cities. I imagine thirty years ago there were SIGNIFICANTLY less things pretending to be native to Czech and it hurts to know that we wont get to experience this beautiful country without the tourist traps.

I hope this channel would tell more about the tiny museums if those are still a thing in Prague.

A lot of people are afraid to do so thinking it will make their country/town look bad, but everywhere is like that and it's best to be aware of the pitfalls so you can avoid them and have a great tourist visit and leave with a positive view of the good aspects of that place.

    The thing with TikTok and Instagram reels is the short form nature of it is all about quantity over quality. Pump out a bs video 3x a day that regurgitates the stuff you saw the last person say. It's no coincidence they all talked about beer cheaper than water. Just regurgitating.
    I do miss the 50czk beers in city-center, but even then, how much are people paying for water?!

    • @HTPNT_Krewca
      @HTPNT_Krewca Před 4 měsíci +1

      Water bottle in legit grocery shop can be as low as 0,2€ for a store brand or around 1€ for a name brand. The tourist traps Janek shown in the video can charge around 4€ for a single water bottle.
      In restaurants the government had to actually pass a law a few years back that they need to offer at least one non-alcoholic drink cheaper than a beer. And then it depends if the restaurant is a tourist one, local one or high-class one, but I'd say around 3€ for a 1l water carafe with lemon/fruits in mid-tier local restaurant.

      @barrysteven5964 Před 4 měsíci +2

      OK. I'll explain. I understand that English has become a lingua franca in much of the world. However, as a native speaker I feel sometimes that people forget that it is not an artificial language like Esperanto which does not particularly belong to anyone. It is first and foremost the language of its native speakers. It is up to use to decide which words to use officially in our language. I note also that these resolutions don't apply to speakers of other languages. Are Germans told to say 'die Tschechia'? Or the French 'la Tchéquia'?
      So when the Czech Republic insists on the name Czechia, and Turkey insists on being referred to as Türkiye, by people when speaking in English they forget they are trying to dictate to native speakers which words to use in their own language. It is no more appropriate for a Czech to tell me to use the word Czechia when speaking in my language than it would be for the British parliament to pass a resolution for Czechs to stop using the words Anglie and Velká Británie and replace them with for example Ingland or Grejt Brýtan when speaking in Czech amongst themselves. Same goes for Turkey. I will use Türkiye when speaking to fellow anglophones when they replace İngiltere with İngland when speaking Turkish amongst themselves. Neither Türkiye nor Czechia sound particularly natural to native speakers by the way.
      So basically it's the principle of non-native speakers imposing odd sounding vocabulary on native speakers. As I say, English is not an artificial language. It is not yours to change by resolutions.
