I was going to ask: Why the ... does anyone have 1000+ Slack channels? What's the point of so many channels?

We have maybe 20 IRC channels, and that to much as well. Many join all of them anyway, two of them are basically the same thing, bot hang around in random channels with no clear distinction as to why it's in one and not another. I cannot imagine the corporate structure that would trigger the creation of 1000 Slack channels, honestly Slack might just be a symptom.

On a side note: I still don't get Slack, it's like one of those Chinese: Do everything apps, the interface is cluttered and not particularly intuitive to use. It really makes you long for the days of HipChat.
