Spacy's Channels are public chat where content creators and their subscribers can freely interact. These Channels are exclusively available to premium subscribers. The content creator, who initiates the Channel, has the ability to moderate messages and can also assign moderation rights to their most loyal subscribers. Channels serve as excellent platforms for broadcasting paid content to the most engaged premium subscribers.

In upcoming updates, Channels will provide the option to live stream content, be it audio or video. Creators will thus have the capability to stream content in real-time. Additionally, these updates will grant creators the freedom to set access to their Channel, allowing them to toggle between public access and premium subscriber-only access. After each broadcast, the content will automatically be converted into a post on the creator's profile. If the broadcast was exclusively for premium subscribers, the post will also be restricted to this subscriber category.
