yes, no advantage on warpcast feed

it will appear on the channel page but people don't really visit those

what is the point of posting in a channel if it gets you zero extra distribution outside of your followers? 

except for on channel pages which no one checks.

It's about building a cozy corner.

Every time we do a home feed A/B test, channel content recommendations perform worse than the control.

so we’re back to channels being hashtags, just membership gated now?

Hashtags imply distribution. 

Think of it like a public group chat, e.g. /six

It's about a space you control (who can cast, no spam labels for members). A lot of people resonate with that.

this revelation makes me lose most of my interest in the new channel design, which i was previously very amped about. 

why should i put energy into cultivating a channel when it doesn’t introduce anyone to anyone through the context of a shared interest? 

it’s like a party where your xr glasses only let you see and hear people you’re already following. like a party where everyone who is already friends acts like they can’t see you. that ain’t cozy.
