channels either need to become cheaper or users be more willing to add members and take a chance

idk why the high price other than mitigating spam but hopefully that does come down. everyone should have a personal channel at least

also I've seen some suggest a retroactive reward for users that were here before the changes..

gib warps or 1 free channel creation

1. Personal channel -- your home feed. It comes with your Farcaster account. :)

2. There are 13K channels (at 2500 warps a pop). Arguably there are too many channels! 

3. If channels are really working in terms of building many thriving communities, then we can figure out if reducing price is the right lever. But channel cost isn't the limiting factor right now.

Building a thriving channel is a commitment.  If they can't commit to the cost of the channel - especially when there are ways you can literally earn enough to buy the channel just for casting - then I'd have to question the commitment to actually running a decent channel.
