What I find fascinating about this is how easy (and simultaneously difficult) it’s going to be for FB and Twitter to copy this.

This channel will remove my only remaining use of these platforms.

One of the reasons for moving away from fb is that those with followers end up having to pay to get their posts shown to followers. When you follow someone on fb you expect to to see all their posts, but in reality fb has skewered the algorithm so only a tiny percentage will see the updates. It's probably easier for a band/celeb to pay a flat fee to use something like community instead.
