there's so much money stuff happening on our read it
subreddit and you know my history with red it is I've been a
like a personal user I've read it for a really long time
I think I first stumbled across read it actually won one of our videos I think
it was back in 20
11 at this point I think it was when the Westboro Baptist Church website
was hacked by anonymous and that made it onto the front page of Reddit and that
was responsible for certainly
several hundred have the has several hundred thousand views
that that video got on day one that's when I first came across red and then I
found that there's so much
interesting and cool content there that I've been a personal use or breaded
and we were going back and forth you do we create a forum messageboard
on our website do we go some other way for creating a way for for our audience
to communicate directly with us and with the
with each other and ultimately the suggestion came in from a handful of
people to create
a reddit subreddit which we did and that's that reddit dot com
slash are slash the David Pakman show there
was a thread started their about who should we interview what are some
interview ideas
and we've got to date fifty or sixty different
interview ideas from our audience and we're actively booking a lot of them I
think we started with the top eight or ten or so
so this is a way where the audience has told us we want you to interview these
people
and we're making that happen with we've already interviewed a few other
there have been posts related to
David Pakman show means we posted some of the old means that our audience
created
and now people are creating new means there are links to stories we should
cover that people are posting
the egg man is on there engaging with people producer lewis's on their
engaging with people I'm on their daily responding to people's questions and
ideas
people are criticizing us because we ask for membership contributions
and then I'm addressing that and explaining listen if you would rather us
be beholden to corporate interests
rather to our audience that's the alternative we stop the membership thing
and we get funded by the advertisers you see on CNN I don't think that that's
a a better option but this is a discussion that were having on reddit so
I encourage you to go to read it
reddit dot com slash are slashed the David Pakman show hit the blue subscribe
button
along the right side last I checked I think we were around 250 or so
reddit subscribers send us whatever ideas you have and if you have
criticisms
let us know like I said we had this criticism about the pitching for
membership
and I addressed it and I actually think people now have a better understanding
of how this show operates
last thing there are some oddball
things they're showing up on reddit I talked about this a few days ago
someone saying they wanted to write some fanfiction
in which janky you care hosted the Young Turks and I
are involved in some kind of gay relationship
so there's some fringe stuff happening on the reddit subreddit which you might
find entertaining as well but overall
a lot a really good stuff on there I encourage everybody to check it out hit
the blue subscribe button
if only one percent %uh our YouTube audience when over to read it we would
have a really solid discussion forum going there so I hope a
hope to see a lot of you there I know I'm responding to people love really
every day to the comments and questions that are there
