Is social audio an answer to stopping the scourge of misinformation at the rate that it is currently being shared?

You have to listen. And in that listening, you sort of are putting your Emperor Mata on it and saying, I believe this. I listen to this and then you share it out. It's less of a clickbait thing, and it's more of a thoughtful environment. And I'm just wondering if anybody here believes that it's possible for social audio to be one of the stopping the scourge of misinformation at through other platforms that are more visual and more text based

Would love your thoughts specifically about time- shifted audio

I just think that having voice responses and, like being able to listen to people kind of talk about things. And it kind of adds another layer of like, you know, how it's hard to kind of get how someone is feeling just by talking to them on the phone, right? Or seeing a text message and trying to understand how that person feels. It's not easy to do that

Have you guys heard about the false advertising in the mobile market? I saw a video on this YouTube channel that I frequent called I think it was either Game Theory, film Theory. It's probably not Food Theory, but these channels are all run by the same guy. His name is Matthew Patrick

The scourge of misinformation at how it's comparable to the direct feed before, because now you have choice. If you think that one social media platform is too left leaning for you, you just don't have to listen to it because you have a million other options, or you can create your own platform and the distribution is free. So I find it very interesting that people think now there's such a scourge of misinformation when you compare this to before

A lot of the people who are complaining about misinformation are the ones that are posting the misinformation because they don't. Well, I mean, I can't speak for all of them, but a lot of people they don't like something, but they have to deal with it, but they don't want to accept it. So they deny it. Right. And that might raise the ire in some people because they have to just admit that that's happening

Yeah. Those advertisements were pretty bad. I don't think they'd be allowed today. I was talking with my mom, and she said she agrees

Hey, Ryan and Nick, this is an interesting conversation around what was before and what is now and what will be and looking at those advertisements, obviously, we have come so far. Thank God. But, Ryan, I think it's really interesting when you talk about the industry that controlled what music we heard and what things we saw

But it is still the biggest monster we have to tackle these days. Unfortunately, that is the word I would use for it. That is the one word I could think of and imagine all of that coming from someone who's using a social media platform to actually make his point. Just hear me out. A couple of things were just kind of mismatched

#Misinformation present 100yrs ago, just in in different forms #deepfakes

So I agree with what you're saying. And this misinformation has been occurring since before there was any technology people used to give you misinformation to your face. Then some of it arrived by newspaper and you've always had to discern and think critically or get swindled throughout all of history. The only difference is in this present time, we got a lot more pipes and people don't have to be stand in front of you with a watch case or their bag of loot

@RyanCartier limitations = hope?

You had preachers telling stories of apocalyptic times. Absolutely misinformation is part of being human, I think. But to next point, we've adopted these social media platforms to amplify our voices in ways that are completely unprecedented. So my question is because we're social beings because we've adopted is is is social audio an answer to strangers all around the world? What is the most pernicious form of that?

@RyanCartier - You already know, Ryan!

Yes, I get Debra's point when she says that a platform like Swell has got less of a chance for you to dilute something. But again, if you're actually looking for something as misinformation, that's why I said having a conversation and having something shared, they're totally different things. So having a conversation. I don't have any problems with any social media platforms because you are just having a conversation

How is this going to work? Is this another platform that I'll have on my phone? But I'm really hopeful that conversation is a much easier way to sort of cool the heat and get on with it and sort of find commonality or just agree to disagree and just get on with it. So yeah, it's an interesting discussion here, but I hope that it's a better way forward

There's no good intention and any platform, any genre, anything out there that allows for you to express can fall prey to this bad intention. So I don't know, I don't get it. I think there's a lot of people who really just get off on tension and drama, and I just quiet them in my own world, my own feet, and I pay attention to people who are really in it for elevating each other and connecting to each other
