How do channel owners balance curation and monetization?

Would asking users to pay a certain amount per month to have their casts appear in the main channel feed solve the spam problem? What should be done if someone who has paid for a monthly /hypersub begins to spam the main feed?

When I read @yancey's latest post this morning, the first thought I had was that perhaps Farcaster should rename channels to labels. I appreciated Yancey's explanation.

Whether we call them channels or labels, I believe it's beneficial for Farcaster channels to function as collectives. Instead of focusing on growth hacking, memecoin farming, and content sharing, let's prioritize building communities. We need more tools and features that empower users to co-create.

Did a deep dive into channels and wrote out key findings:

- How much overlap is there between users?
- What are the different flavors of chaneloooors?
- What's the dispersion of topics (crypto native vs general purpose)?

Hope you enjoy 🙏

Interesting channel data in this article by @sidshekhar. I believe the network is increasingly favoring the path of crypto-native sub-communities, which means there's much work ahead if we hope to encourage people who are new to crypto to consider launching communities on Farcaster.

Feature request: mute channels

Feels like the right time with the meme coin traction. I already unfollowed a bunch of people, but it’s still annoying.

I agree with this, and since I don’t think we will get this feature anytime soon, it’s time for me to unfollow a bunch of channels and users.

Two new settings for channel hosts

Manage feeds
- Ability to turn off the Trending feed for your channel

Manage channel passes
- Ability to turn on a channel pass and change the price. You'll need to have channel norms set.

Available on web (not on mobile) by clicking the pencil icon on your channel page.

Love that we're seeing more customization in channels ✨

Introducing channel feeds!

Channels now have 2 feeds:

- Trending
- Recent

Trending is the primary feed when you visit a channel. It’s a showcase of the best casts in a channel and gives hosts the ability to curate. 

Recent a reverse chronological feed of all the casts in a channel.

New direction for channels seems promising...

Big updates to channels coming soon 👀 

Very excited to see what the team has put together ✨

Just noticed links are working in channel descriptions 🎉
