Alright, Tim is just...so off the mark here that I have to say something. I know this will fall on deaf ears.
Tim states that he wants to try and address some of the problems in societal cohesion, and in the fact that no one has a sense of community or cares, by opening coffee shops and blasting his show on there.
In fact, the opposite will take place. Tim would be more successful at improving community relations between responsible adults if he just opened a generic coffee store with no TVs at all.
Why is that?
It's been said before. I will say it again. This is not a meme. This is not shitposting. This is completely real talk.
The type of person that you would want to sway, the on-the-go office worker or entrepreneur that just wants a cup of joe, is less likely to visit a coffee shop that has Timcast playing on it. Why? It's not the politics. It's not the sponsors. It's not the structure of the show, it's not the takes given on the show.
No one, and I mean no one is going to want to watch a news show where the anchor is a man in a sweatshirt and a beanie.
Tim is actually out here trying to defend a traditionalist mindset of community and camaraderie when he absolutely rebels against every idea of professionalism and respect. You cannot be a community leader of any sort unless people respect you. And when any competent adult sees a man who is too afraid of his bald spot to take off a child's skate cap while he is indoors, that does not warrant respect.
Now Tim might think people will respect his brand, or his success, or his status as a CEO, but it does not matter if he does not act like it. You cannot make a case for traditional values when you shit all over traditional values, hypocrite.
