So you've really got to be appreciative of the fact that we have multiple ways to use audio these days. I remember when other was only just a few now, is it? It was only just a few and one of them, you only have 30 seconds to talk on. So it's five minutes is what's up. And my daughter wants to eat right now. So if anything I want to say is, please just love social audio

So far. It's okay. But I seem to overall, and this is again, just my opinion, and it really only counts for me have lost a little bit of the edge in social audio. It's just no longer as intriguing as it used to be, because you've can only experience a similar fate for so many times before it becomes predictable and just no longer enticing. So let's see where it goes

It can be some of the downsides of the community connecting and gaining friendships with people, those that seek that out. Because this is what can happen. As an end result, they can be emotionally invested too much into something where five or six years down the line. They're going to look back and cringe at the stuff that they said before, the feeling they hadn't about these people but anything else. Zeitgeist I appreciate you. Thank you for responding

Duan. Lots of people that have loyalty clubs or loyalty feelings towards a certain platform could probably trace some of that loyalty back to the fact that it might have been their first encounter with social audio like you need your first kiss, you remember it. And I know in my case I was an audio boom person audio boo back then, primarily because of the community. Really interesting people. And the founder of Mark Rock was active, which helped

The more years you do this, it gets harder and harder, especially once you kind of get into this frame of mind of what people like and don't like and you get all that in your head and stuff. And some people who liked you who aren't on the app anymore, and you don't have that sort of support system like you did before. All that stuff can kind of play out to where some people say they want to go on elsewhere. That's cool

Bernie at Top Gold great point. And I totally did not think about that for 1 second. That a person's experience with an app that's so enriching. So like, like, like Blazing passion. And if that's their first time doing an app, like an audio app, it can be a very interesting tantalizing experience, especially if it's your first time being on other app of this nature. You're talking with people. It's more intimate than just simply texting and pictures

I mean, that's the great promise and the delicate and the knife edge of social audio being social and using audio in a time shifted asynchronous fashion, is being able to find that happy medium, so to speak, that fine line between being engaged toward and look for being able to really express yourself openly and having the bandwidth, the mental, emotional and spoken word bandwidth to not only say have the courage to say what you need to say, but as well the bandwidth and the time and the effort and the energy that it takes to listen to the people that reply and respond to you, that's the price of human engagement really is at the moment that you give a s*** the moment you become emotionally attached, it becomes far more complicated

Of course, I don't want to radicalize you to other degree that you turn into a complete douche knuckle, and through your actions diminish the value of the brand, such as, for instance, if you become so radicalized that you offend others simply because you're so passionate about the product that you really don't care about the expression in which you represent the product. Well, no. Then I've gone overboard in creating that emotion within you

But it's not finished being in order to rebuild something, you need to recognize that it's broken, you need to recognize that it needs to be rebuilt. And in a lot of ways, I think our society, emotionally, structurally, is still being torn down. It's going to be a while before that comes to an end

I think what we're experiencing as a society around the world is emotional whiplash. It's like we're going along with our lives, doing what we know how to do, dreaming and setting goals, pursuing a bigger part of ourselves. We get hit from behind by the pandemic, by this coronavirus. And now we're all dealing with misinformation, disinformation, lack of leadership. It's just football. Think you've dealt with something, boom. Something else comes along. Emotional whiplash

It doesn't work that way or Facebook. It doesn't work that way. You are a speck in other universe over there. But here on apps like Swell or Anchor or whatever, at least old Anchor, you were a planet amongst you were a Galaxy in the universe at that time. So that's where I think maybe some of the disconnect can come in and some of that immaturity can take form also to the intentions. Everybody has different intentions for being on these platforms

Hey, Dewuan. Well, it's just the attraction factor with social audio is how a conversation, conversation and dialogue discussion can build and grow. That's the attraction. But I think that the overhead of social audio is maybe perhaps threefold. Its vulnerability is one thing and the fact that, like you said, once you say it and put it out there, it's out there forever. It's your words. It's your voice. It's your intuition tensions

@FryedOreo · 4:47
Yeah. Greg Dixon, I totally agree with your caption to be heard and to be relevant with what you say is the allure of what social audio apps can bring. I believe it does that at a stronger scale, as opposed to, like, an Instagram, Facebook or Twitter. You have to already know people to be on that platform. Whereas here, if you're new people will say Hi, you can jump in on a conversation. It's not a million conversations going on

Nearly human. Thank you for such a great question. What can we do moving forward? Because obviously this is going to occur again and again, wherein not just on the app, but but everywhere else. You tend to be passionate about something you will have differences with another over something that you do like. And there is something that you don't like. Some people aren't going to be as civil about talking about the things they despise or they just don't care for
