casting just became the opposite of frictionless.

1. Everyone can cast in their own timeline, goes out to your followers

2. If you're not a member of channels, you don't even see the UI

3. People who find another person interesting will inevitably get invited to channels.

Hear you. We tried using channels to allow people to reach a wider audience and it didn't work well. Too much spam, made channel pages uninteresting.

So trying a new model with more friction, but hopefully leads to more meaningful communities.

i used different channels to reach new people.

now, i have to take extra steps to cast in some of those channels or even accept the invites manually.
casting on my own timeline is an option, but it doesn’t help me reach a wider audience.

so what i'm saying is that it has become more complicated to cast stuff, as it now involves a few more steps.

Feels like an overestimation of the amount of 3 that will happen. Currently I’m seeing two forms of invites. Existing communities and spam for irrelevant channels. And many many announcements. 

Also on 1, as a new member you have no followers. How will anyone notice what you say in the first place?
