Aren’t those channels just randos reading Reddit posts for views? They’re not officially tied to the subreddit or anything.
Which is to say, be the change you want to see.
Exactly, I don’t think we really have any say in whether that happens.
Those channels are just random people trying to monetize content people post for free. Considering that, I personally hope we don’t see any of those channels pop up for lemmy, because I feel like the entire point of lemmy is to move away from monetizing the internet, so if people start monetizing content on here, I feel like it could influence the type or quality of content posted, and then we just become another reddit.
and i feel like lemmy could be a better place than reddit. but not if monetization starts creeping in.
Yeah, a ton of people have tried their hand at turning Askreddit into videos. It’s a genre. I’ve watched a few of them because Askreddit is interesting and having this curated experience is even better.
However, as always with YouTube, if it’s easy to do then a lot of people are already doing it, so there’s a lot of channels doing this and most of them don’t go anywhere. A lot of times you can tell the process is as automated as possible.
The same thing will be done with Asklemmy when there’s enough content to support a channel
Yes, but how about putting it on PeerTube instead?
Why? They’re just recycling other people’s content.
Perhaps once they don’t feel so massively empty
