Reddit radio

So, an idea just popped into my head—it’s one of those little sparks, you know?—that maybe we could actually set up a live stream for our Reddit radio station... though, strictly speaking, it would have to be nothing but top-tier music, of course!

killer idea (kind of like back in the Napster days)

What the hell is this crap?☕

I don't really care about the old Reddit radio station, but if bringing it back means we get some meaty discussion threads where we can just tear into each other over music taste, then honestly, I'm all in.

And honestly, why shouldn't we just have some music playing in the background while we hang out on Reddit? 😕

Because—let's be real—it gets incredibly tedious having to click over to YouTube every single time you want to hear something new. 🤣

It's just a massive pain in the neck having to click over to YouTube every single damn time I want to hear something.🤣

Honestly, trying to handle intimacy and go skiing at the same time is exhausting too. Not all effort is a bad thing, though. Sometimes you need the burn.

🤣 👋

Does this mean we're all going to be listening to the exact same crap?
What happens to the Dick's Sporting Goods crowd, and those threads like 'what are you listening to right now' or 'what kind of popcorn are people snacking on' while they listen? 😁

It’s actually a pretty solid idea. Since some people claim you can judge a person's entire character just by their avatar, signature, and posts, then looking at their music taste would definitely round out the picture for certain folks.

Define "good music."😕
What I like doesn't necessarily have to be pleasant to you. And the same goes for you. Plus, we're talking about nearly 300,000 users here.🤷

Honestly, if we actually launched an American Reddit radio station, I bet people would tune in like crazy 🤷 Especially during those live shows where you bring on actual users from the threads... though, let’s be real, doing it live might be a total train wreck because things could get way too awkward real fast 😁

What works for me doesn't necessarily have to work for you. And honestly, the same goes both ways... plus, when you're dealing with nearly 300,000 users... 🤷

Nearly 300,000? Pretty sure it's closer to 145,000... 😁

Oh, and I was wondering about how copyright works with all this. Would they actually have to buy the rights to every single song?

Raymond Foster4 said:Almost 300,000? Isn't it closer to 145,000? 😁

Ever heard of hyperbole 🙄?

Raymond Foster4 said:I'm also not sure how the copyright situation works. Would they have to buy out the song rights?

No, why 🍿?

Copyright, schmopyright 🙄.

Melissa Castillo said:Ever heard of a little hyperbole 🙄?

That's not even hyperbole... you just looked at the total number of threads on Reddit and mistook them for actual users 🙂.

No, why 🍿?

Copyright, schmopyright 🙄.

Fair enough. Well, I guess I'll just sue you all if you actually launch it 😍...

Raymond Foster4 said:It’s not hyperbole; you just looked at the total number of threads on the forum and mistook them for actual users.🙂

I'm done. Clearly, it's easier for you to shove things up your ass than to actually process them with your brain.🤷 🙂

🤣 The server can barely manage to stay upright without the radio; I can't imagine how it's going to cope once it's actually running with it.

Who’s actually going to drop music from a chain? You can't—there are way too many genres involved. It might work for a split second if you were playing it in a small circle, but having some of the more well-known users from other forums come on as guests? Now that, I could get behind.

or even:

A night with the stars

Tyler Bishop56 said:or maybe even:

Starry night sky

Go go

Now that’s actually a solid idea.

Honestly, we might as well just launch Reddit TV while we're at it.
Every single PDF could have its own dedicated programming schedule...
We could even spin up a reality show. Like, imagine America scouting for forum users to live in a house together. A Big Brother forum style thing.

Honestly, we might as well just start Reddit TV.
Like, every thread gets its own show.
We could even run a reality show. You know, like how America looks for people on the Big Brother forum.
