The best description of CH I’ve come across: “A platform where C tier people listen to B tier people talk about A tier people.”

You know what would be really cool? A place where there aren’t tiers of people.

Why? The human species and relatives have organized into heirarchies since their dawn.

You start as a child, and go forth and develop your place in the world.

If everyone is the same, no one is unique.

Different desires lead to different contributions which have different levels of value to society which lead to different levels of social status.

We've also killed each other since time immemorial, doesn't mean we have to like it.

No one wants to not be on top, but being on top doesn't maximize everyone's happiness or sense of purpose either.

If true, that would make it even more cool.

You’d have to venture outside of our planet to find such a thing, and even then I doubt you’ll find what you’re looking for.

That sounds like it would've applied to Twitter until "A tier people" joined the platform, got their blue checkmarks and became the reason Twitter hit critical mass.

Great one!

I've heard it described as Twitch Chat minus Twitch, just the Chat.

But then again that's pretty much what the real world is. That isn't really a CH-specific phenomenon.
