rewards leaderboard has been a success so far imo by rewarding consistent posters and tapping into innate human competitiveness. users yearn for leaderboards and points. a few unfortunate side effects so far with regards to content on the timeline: - direct incentive to lazily copy paste content while scrolling twitter and pass it off as your own - inauthentic accounts mirroring the interests of popular accounts to farm engagement - incentive for top level casts > replies which may blunt conversational impulse - rings of accounts making quid pro quo agreements to boost each other’s content been thinking a lot about online identity and how we value content post- gen ai, and the rewards leaderboard has been an excellent prompt to explore these ideas. writing coming soon ish.

leaderboard has personally increased my tendency to cast as well, but I feel in the long term it's harmful. Good for bootstrapping only. Status as a reward is better - power badge etc. The more intrinsic an incentive system, the more organic & sustainable it is (from all my experience guiding clients through airdrop programs)
