If we had an opt-in "read receipt" mode, a la Instagram Stories or group chats, for casts, would you turn it on?
I don't know it seems a little intrusive from the reader perspective. I don't want people thinking I saw their content and didn't care about it because I didn't like or engage. I would on the other hand like a more accurate count of how many views the cast has gotten
No way! Let’s not push that crazy behaviour patterns here 😅👐
no— i haven’t found the obsession with attention via Instagram stories to be particularly healthy (not to say i’m immune). i also like the idea that casts are launched into the infinite expanse that is the whole internet waiting for the serendipitous traveler to discover. read receipts feel local and limiting.
no, most people don’t leverage it in a healthy way and it ends up being a toxic feature that affects people negatively.
would use for group chats -- not sure an option is needed there tbh for individual 1:1 chats: - iMessage does it in a way that each user opts in independently of others - WhatsApp makes it reciprocal where if you turn off yours, you can't see read status from others I prefer the WhatsApp approach for 1:1s
I’m always in favour of opt-in rather than opt-out. I don’t think too much about read receipts. Kind of like them as long as no one involved ascribes any assumptions to a lack of response. To me that same set of assumptions can come alongside a long pause with no read receipt. It’s behaviour/compulsion issue imo
Ship it but hand it over to hatecast it fits their brand better
I would like to sweep to the left to go back instead of clicking the arrow tbh 👉👈
No, promotes anxiety in a platform where we dont need messenger-level of realtime responses
Yes, but on the condition that the audience can be muted and edited
read receipts one of my least favorite things tbh
no thanks, I don't want that cognitive overhead when scrolling here.
I'd prefer anonymous view count to see if the casts are at least reaching eyeballs
Like a “who read this cast”? Eh, I’m okay not knowing.
Not having it is one of the many reasons I currently love FC. A feature like that encourages and rewards performant and largely negative behavior.
would love that if group chats in dms wouldn't use it in any other scenario
Yeah very useful at times. Opt-in is a great idea.
Probably not but I'm curious to hear arguments favoring this feature
Hmm my product head: What problem does this solve? This creates problems for me. The only thing read receipts do for me are make me feel guilty for not answering people more quickly. 🤔
Of course no. Is this a game sponsored by THeSpyStore? Whats next, share location? (Hope we don't have it already xD)
No. I don't want people to be able to see what I'm up to unless I actually post something.
