That there are people to whom this is appealing is interesting. For me personally this sounds like the tenth circle of hell.
- germinalphrase 7y agoIt feels very culture dependent to me, and almost certainly to become a dumpster fire once/if it develops mass appeal. Could it be cool? Yea - if people are respectful, curious and - somewhat - open/trusting. It probably won’t be/stay like that though. Edit: I grew up in a small rural community. People still remember the open party line telephone system. There was a cultural “etiquette” about using it because you had preexisting relationships with those people (however distant). A conversation app needs to have a limiting feature: geographic, contact list, etc.
- ChrisArchitect 7y agowas looking for someone mentioning the 'party line' thing. I've heard ppl like yourself mention remembering that also.
- empath75 7y agoIt seems more like a platform for call-in talk radio style podcasts.
- _curious_ 7y agoThis angle is interesting insofar as the business prop/value potential.
- joezydeco 7y agoWe've nearly completely detached ourselves from live-anything these days, with the exception of sports. It will be interesting to see if people want to migrate back to a real-time broadcast. If the host/content was compelling enough, it could work. But 99.99% of podcasts are not that.
- Causality1 7y agoSeriously? You know Twitch is a massive thing, right? Game streaming is already a billion-dollar industry, not to mention all the non-gaming live content like mukbangs.
- code_duck 7y agoSeriously, conference calls? I thought that sounded cool in 1992 and it turns out I was wrong.
