Scrolled through 100 casts just to check.

70 landed in channels, 30 didn’t.

Honestly thought channels would dominate even more by now. Feels like the balance is shifting, but not fully tipped yet.

maybe because of the new algo in rewards leaderboard

Let’s clear up some misunderstandings about channels!


1. You don’t get a distribution or algorithm boost for casting into a channel (You used to, but those days are over)!

2. Cast into channels because:
    - You like the channel and the people in it (community)
    - You want to chat with others about a particular topic (food, books, screens)

3. All channels are setup differently. Some are open to all, some are membership based. Unfortunately not all hosts/mods are caught up on all the channel changes. Some channels have a link on their page with how to join or a pinned post telling you the details. All channels *should* have this, but don’t. 

4. If you are a channel host, consider opening your channel to all (change to public/everyone) or add @curabot to your channel to help new folks be automatically invited to your channel!
