A bit puzzled by the people who continue to insist that open channels without any gating or spam filtering would work just fine. When I mention there would be a lot of spam, they tell me I'm wrong or they would manually weed it out. We tried that for the last year and it didn't work. Very few channel owners / moderators wanted to do the drudgery of cleaning up spammy casts. It's not fun or rewarding. And that's logical on their end! The reason web2 doesn't have this problem: 1. The successful companies like Meta or YouTube have *10s of thousands* of ops people moderating the platform; they also have massive data sets and AI models to help 2. They are centralized. They can *delete* spammy accounts and there's no recourse. 3. X / Twitter got rid of most of their ops people, so you see *a lot* more spam on there. Additionally, #hashtags on Twitter have been spammy for 10 years. Just look at the following link: https://x.com/hashtag/Ethereum

do you think the warpcast spam detection model used for replies will be good enough to be used for channel feeds at some point?

Possibly, but the issue will be hosts want more control than a default Warpcast algo. So at some point it's a hybrid. I'm optimistic that membership creates more of an incentive for channel owners / mods to want to build actual communities, especially once they are decentralized and onchain.
