Tim tells unsuccessful comedians to stop performing stand-up on Instagram Live, mocking the desperation of people trying to become influencers and comparing the entertainment industry's collapse to Logan Paul's YouTube fame.
- The entertainment business is about to be gutted; relationships, how you attract followers, and how you make money will all change.
- For independent creators, the only way out is being self-sufficient—you cannot rely on anybody anymore.
- Tim dismisses the idea that comedians will get sitcom pilots or tours; everything is sand through the hourglass.
- Going on Instagram Live with a half-decent comedian performing to an empty room is what psychopaths want.
- Tim describes the fantasy: get noticed on Instagram Live, then what—they lead you with a mask through Paramount's gates?
- Checkout is at 11:00 a.m., no late checkout; the vacation has ended and your meaningless life is no longer public consumption.
- Most of what comedians are doing on these platforms has not been good; Tim feels for the people trying to replicate Logan Paul's success.
- Comedians thought they were slick copying YouTubers, and now they're all trying to be YouTubers themselves.
