channels getting renewed focus

thinking channels themselves should have their own warplet, not just channel mods

could unlock a lot of interesting monetization opportunities and native channel rewards

i’ve given this some thought

judging by the comments on @ted’s cast, channels are clearly the biggest hurdle new users face here

i think the issue plays into spam; in feb, these channels were open to anyone, which resulted in a ton of useless noise, specifically during the rise of the bots

this led to channels getting gated, restricting everyone from posting unless they were invited by a mod & thus made a member

this means new users not only have to go search for the mod but have to reach out for an invite—which depending on the account, may end up in the mods spam DC folder anyway—never to be seen

the trade-off here is that channels are now much more curated at the expense of open discovery

i propose that channels be opened up again, especially now with the new spam tooling 

yes, this will invite spam once again

to that end, i propose @jacek rewards mods with the 1M/week degen allocation, instead of coat tailing fc rewards
