I’ve been listening to the Sept. 7 episode of "Many Such Cases," and it got me thinking about channels. I’ve been active since August, and I’ve seen channels evolve. I have an old idea, I think sub-channels are the next step. Right now, channels are set up for competition. It’s a zero-sum game—"let the channel wars begin." That makes no sense to me. There's time for culling and time for growth, yet my impression at least is that we're in a growth phase, no? It feels like we're architected against collaboration. Collaboration Good I reached out to @ghostlinkz of /music - he was super open and welcoming. We talked about channel dynamics and community and ethics, it was cool. But it highlighted that - at this particular time in Farcaster's history - our goals could be misaligned. I'm thinking of the initial Yahoo directory - but with people, not pages. Each person "curated' into the ecosystem, all done on chain and distributing value transparently & equitably. See: /channel/music/techno/untzuntz or channel/music/playlists/bananas. Doesn't need to be genres - could be anything - so long as the stem is being built - it's searchable. Implement transparent and "smart" contracts for any rev sharing through the ecosystem and you get everyone aligned: Higher level channel owners can open up as many sub channels as they desire ifthey can find the right human, new channel owners are supported by the higher channel owners.
