How are people feeling about the channels change?

Honest feedback requested!

Love the update but what about new users? They can only cast in their home feed which no one sees without followers and when they try to reply or interact, their replies often end up in Show More since they’re not part of any channels.

On top of that many channels require holding a specific NFT, token or esubscription just to join. That’s a big ask for someone who’s already paid a subscription fee just to use Warpcast and is trying to get started.

This update is great for existing users—we’ve found our place and built connections. But what about newcomers? Aren’t we trying to bring more people in and help them find a community too?

Warpcast has become a costly application. If newcomers want to be seen, they must buy at least $2,000 in fan tokens or activate $1,000 degen allowance . The old ones find these costs economical, because warpcast has returned these costs to them.
