Looking for channel owners that spend at least 5 hours a week on growing and managing their channels. I had a group of people like this last fall, but a bunch of those people no longer seem to be actively working on their channel. Want to find the people that are *currently* committed to channels. Please reply here if that’s you.

i no longer create new channels or moderate any of my channels, i even rarely look into them i only post to channels as opposed to my home feed because i think it still gives visibility boost? without the algo boost i'd only post to my home feed

You are saying channels give no visibility boost? Shouldn't following a channel funnel casts from followed channels into the home or following feed? That counts as more visibility in my book. Otherwise it should be called "favorite" not "follow"?

Zero boost. Has been that way for a long time.

Not even a boost to people who follow that specific channel? I always thought that posting in a channel would boost the cast to the users feed who follow that channel

Nope. Too much low signal stuff.

so what’s the point of following channels? if you have to manually head to a channel to see the content (v. it showing up in feed) why even follow it in the first place?

yeah i have the same question. I don't see the point at all if the content of the channel doesn't get any prioritization in your feed

+1 on this and why was this action taken? follow channel -> start seeing casts of that channel to your home feed that's like standard user thinking

and just like reddit, if I don't like the channel in my feed I can just leave it/unfollow.
