Tim argues that oversharing on social media destroys mystery and celebrity, using Whitney Cummings' constant Instagram stories as an example of being too accessible.
- Celebrity has been destroyed by commodification through social media—we now see everything about celebrities' omelets and vacations, destroying the mystery.
- Nazis fleeing to Argentina after the war would be caught instantly nowadays because they'd be posting TikToks of German songs.
- Tim avoids daily podcasts and constant Instagram stories because successful people—athletes, entertainers, business people—don't want to be known that well.
- Whitney Cummings posts Instagram stories all day, which will eventually become evidence in court when she has her breakdown, according to Tim.
- She's too exposed and too accessible—people think they want more content but they don't, even though Whitney insists they do.
