Crowdsourcing Everything: Realtors, Honeymoons, and Making Friends Feel Poor
from #167 - Beach Corpse | The Tim Dillon Show · #167
5 min
Tim riffs on people crowdsourcing life decisions on Facebook (books, honeymoons, Disney hotels) instead of using Google or Yelp, and describes his trick of recommending realtors and restaurants slightly out of people's price range to embarrass them.
- Facebook users crowdsource everything, even nine-month-ahead Disney World hotel planning instead of just watching YouTube reviews.
- Tim describes how people crowdsource their entire honeymoon destination as if they have no preferences of their own.
- When friends ask for realtor recommendations, Tim finds the wealthiest area in their destination and recommends a luxury estates agent to make them feel poor.
- His strategy: recommend restaurants, realtors, or anything slightly out of someone's league, then innocently say sorry when they realize they can't afford it.
- Restaurant crowdsourcing on Facebook leads to pointless hundred-comment arguments about Peter Luger's versus Quality Meats instead of people just trying both or eating.
- The absurdity of spending money on expensive restaurant dinners instead of medicine or water during hard times.
- He wants to make false reports on Nextdoor about groups of men with tiki torches without any actual evidence, just to stir up panic.
