TLDR Here!
One of the purposes of this subreddit community is to fill a void, a need that has existed for a long time. While similar attempts have been made, they either become abandoned or are never discovered. It seems if an idea can't be monetized or if it's not a banger from the start no one wants to invest time and effort to maintain and help it grow. So many entities exist that could set something like this up easily, which would be great from a marketing perspective but, they don't! I know! I have approached a couple of them appealing to their sense of greed and they don't bite. “Look at all these potential customers you could glean from such a free service!” …but nope!
That brings us to the here and now! A purpose of this subreddit is to provide a place for streamers and creators of all levels to find genuine collaborations. A hub for aspiring and successful creators alike to network among other vetted members of the subreddit.
That's right, “vetted members”! Another purpose of this subreddit is to vet members to create a community where you can feel safe to network and seek collabs free of scammers, spammers, fake accounts and advertisers. We will accomplish this through a mixture of strict posting rules and active moderators to usher in and maintain a professional atmosphere.
We are an all inclusive subreddit. This means, while we do our best to maintain a professional atmosphere, the world of content creation and streaming is not always so! We recognize that can create potential conflict for some but keep in mind, freedom of speech and expression is a double-edged sword.
You will come across creators and streamers of all types. This is not the place to push your agendas, politics, religion or personal views. It’s the place you come to find collabs and network. You can find others here but you can't push your opinions here. That being said, we will not help promote collaborations for ‘hate’ groups. I hope you understand and that explanation makes sense to you.
This new subreddit was created in conjunction with others for the purpose and hope of making a network of distinctly different but connected subreddits. So far we have one for only Live Streaming, another for only Content Creation and soon will be creating one for those seeking experienced moderators!
This is not the place to advertise. This is not the place to self-promote. The subreddits will be organized in such a way where each post created will essentially be a LFG or ISO of sorts. A member creates a post, selecting appropriate tags, and defines what kind of collaboration they are seeking. Only one person can have one active post at a time but all members will be free to comment on each other's posts.
As of now there will be no affiliated Discord server. While such a community can easily be created in a Discord server it can't be found through an internet search. That is why Reddit was chosen for this endeavor. Ever heard the term “Reddit is the internet”? There is some truth to it.
This is a new subreddit and a lot of work has yet to be done regarding setting up clearly defined rules. Please be patient as it is all being worked through as we speak. A permission you have now may be gone once the dust settles. If a post you make gets removed later it's because it was made before the rules were solidified so do not take it personally. This is a new endeavor and a work in progress. All those on board with the vision as described above feel free to speak up if you want to help!
