However, fishermen found that putting <a href="/pages/w/105665699467314">catfish</a> in the tanks with the cod kept them active, and thus ensured the quality of the fish. Vince made an analogy of how there are people in everyone's lives who keep each other active, always on their toes and always thinking, suggesting that people should always be alert while socializing through the internet.</p><h2>Plot</h2><p>Young photographer <a href="/pages/w/125649220926272">Yaniv "Nev" Schulman</a> lives with his brother Ariel in <a href="/pages/w/111979848819624">New York City</a>.
