crypto mfs when they see a new namespace to squat

IMO a fixed $25 to create a channel is probably far *below* the socially optimal price. Many were squatted in an early speculative land grab and are now abandoned. It's much easier to create a new one than commit to curating it and building a community over the long term. 

Throwing them onchain and letting Coasean bargaining sort it out seems reckless until the concept can outcompete "squat, gamble, and speculate."

counter point: what social network charges you to make a community? isn't the namespace centralized anyway?

the same goes for paying for fid and storage. hubs are not getting paid. so charge user? can't we figure out a better way to weed out spammers?

What happens today if you create non-warpcast channels by casting into a non-warpcast channels by casting to a new channel url as parent url?
- will it show up in the main feed to my followers?
- can warpcast create channel id with the same pre-existing non-warpcast channels?

Yeah. Although it's not actually possible to gate it right?

the fid makes more sense because it's paying for storage at the protocol level. But channels are entirely centralized, and they're just a parent_url under the hood.
