Podcasters! I'm cheating a bit with this answer, because this is really the industry I've worked in for the past 3+ years. But it still strikes me what camaraderie there is between audio producers, and even great goodwill/respect between tech platforms that are ostensibly competitors. I think both phenomena are a function of the fact that the industry is more concerned with growth, improving podcasting tech, and attracting new listeners/advertisers (rather than just competing for existing ears/dollars). Result: podcasters genuinely try to help each other, and enjoy meeting like-minded souls at meet-ups. Also, see online communities like "Podcast Movement Community - For Podcasters" Facebook group (14,000+ members) and many more online groups with thousands of members. There's a StackOverflow-level generosity of knowledge/advice sharing. Example: I shared this "Grateful for friendships" post after an industry conference https://www.instagram.com/p/BlxX3pjgr06/?taken-by=awesoundap...
