They debate a spate of articles claiming people are sick of social media, with Gary saying he'd be thrilled if platforms disappeared since he only cares about following audience attention wherever it goes.
- Tim agrees social media engagement is down based on recent articles.
- People are sick of social media and realize how toxic it is, potentially unplugging from it entirely.
- The internet may no longer be the sole driver of culture, replaced by Netflix, podcasts, or other platforms.
- Tim would be pumped if social media disappeared since he only cares about following where attention goes.
- Social media's toxicity comes from people themselves being toxic, and the platform allows them to express it.
- People approach Tim at the airport asking about Instagram, which he describes as just people drinking drinks out of hot dogs.
- Social media is a portal to Hell that people have collectively opened.
- Tim jokes that if he ends up in hell, he'll colonize it quickly and dominate it.
