Tim and Ben predict the podcast boom is winding down to only the genuinely good shows, and that TikTok fame from Vine-era stars rarely converts into lasting careers, except for people like David Dobrik.
- Tim argues the podcast boom is ending and only established, talented shows will survive.
- Ben agrees too many podcasts exist and most are being ignored by audiences.
- Question of whether TikTok stars can fill arenas now that the pandemic is over.
- TikTok stars are launching fake energy drinks and companies to monetize their fanbase.
- Vine stars from before TikTok either live in tents on the 101 or are selling things because they didn't parlay their quick, unexplained fame into anything real.
- David Dobrik managed to actually turn TikTok fame into something, unlike the Vine generation.
