Even the entire concept of "running out" doesn't apply 🤔
This is an especially interesting video that everyone should enjoy, where I go over not only why we won't ever run out of QR codes, but it's literally impossible to ever do so. As in, the concept of "running out" is not even applicable. I made a tweet about this and people seemed interested but confused, so this video should set the record straight. Basically QR codes are fundamentally different from Barcodes. They aren't identifiers that are used to point to data in a database, and therefore, rather the data is in the QR code itself.
