A Wix ad read continues the Ray-as-failed-photographer bit, covering his bad self-made website, unflattering photo aspect ratios, working under a DJ affiliated with gang members, and getting effectively shadow banned.
- Tim argues most people have given up on websites and migrated to social media, which lack professionalism.
- Ray's old photography website didn't work because the pixel aspect ratio made his subjects look fat.
- Tim asks if Ray would have been a successful photographer with Wix instead of his failed DIY site.
- Ray stopped paying for his website and went out of business, admitting the site wasn't good.
- Tim points out that without SEO, Ray's photography would be buried on Google's third page, invisible to clients.
- Ray admits he was essentially shadow-banned before that was even a term, blaming his smelly shoes.
- Tim closes with advice that people need websites and a plug for the show.
