Very strong support for the upcoming changes to channels. You don’t need to squint to see how it could be a major growth driver. Direct channel invites for onboarding new users is particularly interesting, though I’m curious to see exactly how Warpcast approaches the UX. The phrase “channel entrepreneurs” was thrown around a few times. When you onboard a new user, you theoretically will have a lot more control over their first few moments on the app. In some other phraseology news, “cozy corners” is not really the right descriptor for channels in the new model, and I’m not even sure I heard anyone say it. The primitive is too flexible. Some channels are going to look like your local school board meeting and some are going to look like the house of commons.

So wait... What does direct channel invites for onboarding new users mean? They still have to pay 5 bucks? But I guess they start off in the "cozy corner" with a reason to stick around?

i don't think it's quite built yet but theoretically you could pay the fee on their behalf, send a link and once they press it, they're routed to the channel and are an active member sounds like fees coming down again soon too

In different threads I’d seen them willing to subsidize the onboarding cost, but hadn’t ironed out the details for the criteria to openly talk about that

I wonder if it involves using the 2M in fees collected? Seems logical, but I guess the issue was always how to prevent abuse? It *feels* like channels gets us closer to an answer but I don't see it 100% yet.

Not an easy problem to solve, but I trust it’s something they’ve thought deeply about compared to at rollout. I’m excited to see the vision play out
