Reddit is ending its audio product, Reddit Talk.
- Running it requires more resources than expected.
- Hosting Reddit Talks will continue until March 21, after which the service will wind down.
- Talks hosted after September 1, 2022, will be available for download until June 1, 2023.
- Reddit plans to explore more ways to help communities discover each other in the future.
- Reddit appreciates the feedback from the community and will consider bringing audio back in the future.
Why it matters: hype is not always matched by alignment of need and cost of building and running a product.
