It's never going to drive short term growth in a way that quarterly metrics demand. However, working on this with a long term mindset will ultimately compound to Farcaster's benefit. If done right, the data shows people will keep coming back. 

I know you've had a lot of conversations around this @ted, but curious to get your current thinking on it.

I agree with this take, and I'd love to see a Merkle team devoted to improving channels.
