Please don't ask friends or fans to upvote your posts, and especially please not to post booster comments in the threads. This is against HN's rules (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html), and we ban accounts and sites that do it. Also, HN users are really good at detecting this, and then they will flag your posts and complain to us and use unkind words like 'spam'.
While some of the comments here may be legitimate, the very similar phrasing used in every other comment (excepting mine) expressing their love of the platform is tripping my spam sensors.
I recognize some/most of the usernames, so I can assure you they're likely 99.9% real.
Seems like a huge influx of new users commenting...
A few more details: The microcast channel of ykyz lets you record episodes of up to 90 seconds long, and automatically generates an iTunes compatible RSS feed from those episodes. Only episodes posted to the special microcast channel (https://ykyz.com/c/microcast/) are syndicated. Note you need to post a short introductory “Bleat” to c/intros before you can record microcast episodes.
I love being part of the YKYZ community! Everyone is so friendly and offer interesting insights on the particular topics they share. The content I usually educate myself on is a really niche market so to be able to be on YKYZ and hear stories on just about anything really opens up my perspective on things! It's also such an easy, fun platform to work with. I would definitely recommend YKYZ to anyone (:
I've been on YKYZ for about 3 weeks now and it's been amazing! I love listening to others' microcasts and learning so much in such little time. The people behind YKYZ have also never failed to guide us and support the community.
Definitely recommend those interested in making a microcast to join YKYZ. You don't only get to make friends but you get to talk about the things you love.
I have been using this platform for like a week and I really enjoy it. I think it's really nice place to learn about new topics and meet new people. I highly recommend it to everyone :)
I'm new to podcasting so i'm enjoying the site and the concept of micro casts. each post is less than 2 minutes long so it doesn't get boring.
I use ykyz for my microcast and so far it’s been a blast. The folks there have all been cool and helpful, and it’s a good platform.
I have learned so much at ykyz in the short amount of time I've been involved. Can't wait to contribute more!
I enjoy using the ykyz site to share my thoughts. It's a friendly community and easy-to-use platform.
It's pretty fun, and I like the interactive aspect as well.
This is a great website and I have found it incredibly informative. There is a great supportive community on there and we are all interacting with each other and voicing our opinions. I haven't had a single unpleasant experience on there. It seems people are much more polite in comments when they have to use their voice. There's such a good variety of topics on there from Gamer News to Health and Wellness to Cat Facts and Mystery Stories. The platform is easy and accessible and it is so simple to upload a microcast and start a series. I definitely see it as the future for microcasting.
YKYZ has given me a new reason to look forward to getting up in the morning. It truly is a unique platform that makes it easy to connect with people on a more personal level, as well as learn something interesting about a topic you might not know about. It's like those days in school where you'd have each student get to teach the class about something they're knowledgeable about. It makes podcasting fun and personal and I have only good things to say about it!
I've been on ykyz.com since October, and it really became my go-to site almost immediately. I know that sounds like a Hallmark card, but it's real people really talking... and the chance to have my own micro podcast has helped me use my actual voice to continue my work of helping people.
Love the community on this site, very interactive and supportive. I recommend joining and expressing yourself through a micro cast about whatever interests you!
