Announcement🗣 The Cessation of Reddit’s RPAN and Reflecting on Past Livestreams on r/Worldnewsvideo
I have come to our userbase with a sad announcement about the cessation of RPAN (live streaming) on Reddit and r/Worldnewsvideo…
While we would love to continue to offer a native option for our users to livestream reality to our subreddit - this decision is out of our hands and cannot be changed. If Reddit offers a native livestream option again, we will reapply for access so we may continue to have that option available to all of you. Though we currently are relatively small subreddit of 180k users, we have had many wonderful and insightful RPAN submissions that I would like to mention below before they are removed from the site. Feel free to view them now because it is likely they will be removed from Reddit in December 2022.

In the first days of the war in Ukraine, a Ukrainian member shared the world from the eyes of an average citizen. A few unforgettable discussions happened on this post and this post. He also attended a protest as well in Ukraine and shared many posts about the reality of life in a wartorn nation.
A protest in Portland against war was shared by one of our users.
A subreddit member attended a protest in Germany against the war in Ukraine.
A brave member shared her perspective of Hurricane Ida.
A serene member shared a calm stream with all of us to relax beside for more than one day.
A member shared protest they attended against Bolsonaro.
A subreddit member in Canada counter protested against the truckers in Winnipeg.

There were many other notable livestreams that sadly haven’t been mentioned but were loved and enjoyed by myself and the rest of the community. If you are an OP of one of the streams mentioned or any other stream on this subreddit/Reddit then please be mindful of the instructions shared by the admins on the post I linked above. While I wish we would be able to permanently archive these posts for all to view forever… it seems we will likely not be allowed that luxury.
Thank you to all of our RPAN OPs for sharing the world with us. On behalf of myself, the mods, and our users… we thank you.
