Paragraph

Wrote some thoughts on the new channels update that's coming.

tl;dr definitely think it makes sense to lean into the "cozy corners" over the broader "hashtag" channels. Seems like the question when casting will now be if you're trying have a nuanced convo w friends or just posting as you would on Twitter.

There's some channels that are clearly hashtags such as /books /founders that will need to niche down. And there are some today that are clearly cozy corners such as /latenightcrew /six.

But it'll be interesting to see how the "middle" channels will adapt. For example, how do subtle topics such as /techarchive or location channels like /new-york or company channels like /paragraph look like?

In the short term, there will definitely be chaos, pushback, etc. But in the long run, the corners should keep new users engaged long enough to "hook" them. THE MOST IMPORTANT part of this channels update will be reducing the friction of finding homes new users resonate with

I think it would be interesting to somehow curate the channels to distinguish between conversations and links. It's possible that with the help of AI, we wouldn't need to read all the messages in a channel to stay updated on the most important ones.
