Reddit Now Lets You Livestream. What Could Go Wrong?
- chippy 7y agoSeems promising. The strict SFW policies might hit the wall against lets say real outdoor live streaming where swearing is heard. Or if its for people streaming protests (HK) where there is police violence and people hurt. Hopefully the definition of Safe for Work might also include "...or where such content might reasonably be likely to be seen on a mainstream media's news show".
- chmod775 7y agoIn what kind of society do you live where some swearing could even be considered not "safe" for work. People swear all the time. No mentally healthy adult is going to drop into fetal position and commence a nervous breakdown because Tim snubbed their toe and went "fuck fucking shit". As long as the swearing isn't directed at coworkers or some racial slur, who cares. If anything it might lighten the mood. The kind of theoretical place your post is alluding to sounds stuck up and devoid of humanity to me. And also probably doesn't exist. Hopefully. I wouldn't put it past some US companies. SFW was originally used to tag content you yourself can watch at work without experiencing the awkwardness of having a bunch of penises/breasts/whatever on your screen. It was never meant for creating safe spaces for victims of pathological parenting. I can only assume that this is what reddit means here. It would be similar to Twitch in that regard (i.e. no nudity). tl;dr: Nobody will ever care that you're reading/watching the recital of a poem consisting entirely of swear words while giggling manically over your lunch.
- skinnymuch 7y agoYou threw a lot of unnecessary shade and assuming toward OP. But maybe you have your reasons.
- ladon86 7y agoThey haven't really figured out the technical challenge of regular video playback yet - hopefully they've outsourced the streaming technology instead of building it in-house.
- postalrat 7y agoWired posts a new article. What could go wrong?
- Ripple_Nipple 7y agoI had trouble connecting to multiple streams. Also the comments are worse on live videos than they are in the comments for some reason....
