I’m a long time QR code hater. I released an episode of the AuctioneerTech Auction Podcast about QR codes last May where I decided that there were a few valid uses, but overall, most auctioneers use QR codes incorrectly.
I recently came across this video in my Twitter stream. It’s a comical take by Scott Stratten on the frequency with which QR codes are misused. Watch it.
