NFT-specific channels and country/city-specific channels are exactly the same idea. Network geography / physical geography.

The sin of Web 2.0 social media was putting everyone into the same pigpen to be more efficiently addressed and processed. Onchain data defines membranes, tribes, territories, rivers, and mountain ranges: meaningful barriers between biomes, but surmountable if you'd like.

Stronger critiques of the Network State are roughly that it's trying to weld the network geography / physical geography 1:1. Overlap benefits both, they should overlap more, but the venn diagram is boring if it's just a circle.
