how are people thinking about personal channels post-pivot?

Think I’m out on personal channels

Not much reason to cast in them vs. to your home feed (followers) unless you’re really leaning into building a community around your personal brand (most people aren’t)

I do enjoy the lens of them being like a Facebook wall where friends can post “to” you (a bit different than tagging you) but don’t think that’s enough of a benefit on its own

I think even the most successful ones (all of the ones you mentioned besides me above) will struggle to grow once channel memberships are a thing

*unless* they choose to explicitly define their community a la Club Ted (but not sure that’s the vibe in most cases tbh)

Most people shouldn’t have one unless they’re trying to be an influencer or creator and even then it’s questionable in my mind

“And for that reason I’m out”
