Should Reddit Clone Clubhouse‪?‬ James' Audiolog: Indie.am

Should Reddit clone clubhouse? That'S the question: what's a bad question: they are, they will it's gon na ship inside the Reddit Mall app they're, hoping it will increase retention usage of the mobile app and who knows maybe well maybe it won't. Here is the pro argument why they should clone it. It'S a new format. They should get ahead of it, get ahead of it before red user is jump for alternatives, since there are so many alternatives out their own competing platforms. The format works really well with large audiences, most umbrellas have a large audience and you could introduce a new type of interaction. Behavior in those audiences were already organized. Around topic. Theory have a discovery mechanism, there's a ton of value you can get in by launching that app. Now here's the counter argument, there's no real indication that Reddit users actually want to use clubhouse. Here'S why Reddit users are probably the quickest to adopt new contact new forms? A contact, and typically they beat read it by month, three years at addressing those short comings and the Reddit platform, when Reddit users wanted images, they created Imgur, probably five years for Reddit images to come out same with video contact, same of chat, counter and discord. It just the list goes on and on and on - and here is, the big issue is that almost all Reddit contact is asynchronous is consumed in a feed at your own pace and whatever time zone you're in and it doesn't matter whether you login at the same Time as a contact creator or not, however, clubhouse counter is very, very synchronous, or at least the creation aspect involves a community creating's contact synchronously in the same time zone in a way that just doesn't happen on Reddit organically. The other side of the same coin is Reddit. Moderators are incredibly resourceful if they wanted to host clubhouse meet ups for their communities. They already be doing it they've, never taken more than a few weeks to figure out the tools in the process to introducing new Contin typed their community if they're not already adopting another tool. That means there's no organic desire in any sub Reddit for clubhouse, like interaction and really, if you think about the way the clubhouse room operates, really there's only one sub. The operates like that, it's AMA is the same as that is the only sub Reddit, where users create contact in the clubhouse format. Today now granted ANA is on Reddit and Reddit mobile app with clubhouse style content creation. It be in the really fun to play with it's a great idea, but it's really hard to ignore the contrarian viewpoint that Reddit users and Reddit moderators always find their own tools. Very quickly to fill to fulfill their desire to create contact in a specific format, and it really seems like if Reddit users wanted to share contact with other Redditors in the clubhouse format. They would B posting all across popular sub Reddit's, with links to upcoming clubhouse rooms. R upcoming quick tour spaces, and that's just not something you say today -
