where do people cast without channels!?!??? just on their own timeline like a psychopath!?!??? or where do people search&find topics they are looking for like /movies /books /food /retrogaming /poker /art /cryptoart /streetart /memes and so on...afaik there are hundreds or maybe thousands of channels people paid 25 bucks for to open them up...this would be awful to just delete them all...i just recently opened up one myself and planned on getting another one too but now i'm scared to do so...farcaster without channels will be a less nicer place that's for sure...and what are all those projects saying who built a huge community around their channels like /degen, /nerd, /bizarrebeasts or /glanker f.e.??? @jacek @suffuze.eth @bizarrebeast @yerbearserker maybe we will see channels live on via mini-apps...better than nothink/killing them completely; https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0xd7e9b71b

There’s no additional benefit to casting in channels right now.

almost everyone i know prefers to cast in channels than just throwing things out on their own timeline without any thematic orientation via certain channels but maybe that's just my little bubble idk

@bizarrebeast
I am in agreement on @siadude on this one. There is perhaps not a protocol benefit channels, but certainly both users and owners like to cast in them to organize thoughts and share specific ideas. I also find great benefit in having specific buckets like /bizarrebeasts and /bizarrebeastsart to differentiate the various aspects of the project.

No benefits to the algo but great for projects and communities to organize and grow. Problem with channels may be that most aren't moderated and become a home for slop? Could be that FC just isn't big enough yet for channels to be undeniable. Either way it's a great tool in the tool belt in it's current form imo

sorry for the false alarm and panic...i got explained in a gc what you meant and your cast below also points out that we won't lose all our channels lol! https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0x7e3fac2c

casts bundled by topics in certain channels is surely a benefit imho...f.e. i want to read&learn something about the /stokefire game...where else would i look for if not in that channel @nbragg opened up for it
