i’m sad that no social platform has ever made the act of sharing music fun

counterpoint: tiktok? I don't use it but it's had a big influence on the pop landscape

I think the fundamental problem is that listening to a song takes at minimum like 2 minutes, whereas you can process an image (at least superficially) within less than a second, and a short text post in a handful of seconds. so you can scroll through a feed of those, which doesn't work so well with music because it requires more time

I like the Reddit music communities — /r/popheads, /r/indieheads, /r/hiphopheads (and I'm sure there are more for other genres). they have daily threads where you can share what you're listening to

tiktok (+ ig reels) is probably the best example of a social platform catering towards sharing music, but the platform makes songs *trend*

it doesn't necessarily make sharing music *easy*

you're right of course. music is the hardest form of media to share because it's long and lacks visuals
