I've followed Tim for a good amount of years and the thing that hit me the most was when he talked about using tools for his socials to make sure he never saw the time line.
It made me think, he is happy to use the tool for his own gain, but opening acknowledges that it's bad for him, of course, most people in his situation would be the same, but it made me think, how all of that is mostly for his gain, not what a lot of the content consumers assume, for there gain. It's really just entertainment disguised as something more, might as well just watch Netflix.
Also it's abundantly clear that a lot of these creators don't listen to other podcasts etc, why is that? Being a creator and having a big following is a decent and fun life, but it's completely separate to being a consumer and all these consumers following this content wanting to learn to be more like the person that is creating the content, when the irony is, the biggest step they could take to doing that, is stop consuming it all.
Basically, the timeline was just another word used for the feed.
He didn't want to see the feed that everyone was posting because he knows it just saps your attention / can be toxic, but he wanted the ability to post on other people's feeds so they would see the content he wanted to promote.
