In case you missed the alpha on /earlymorningcrew, I no longer understand my home feed algorithm and I learn best by doing. I’m about to finish clearing out 80% of the channels follow and unfollow everyone. I want to see what the algorithm shows me when I follow zero people. Wish me luck and stay tuned for the experiment!

First impressions. 

My feed is not empty at all. 

At first, it was really confused and was mainly showing me accounts who are probably boosted (because I didn’t previously follow any of those people and they are casting in channels I’m not a member or follower of). But after an hour, it’s now showing me myself, and what I assume are boosted accounts, but from channels I follow (because I recognize the channels but not most of the people it’s highlighting).

I wish there was a Dune query for boosts so this was data over intuition.

Following too just because I'm curious.

So first, random boosted accounts... Then it shifted to yourself & boosted accounts casting in channels you follow. I wonder what will happen in the next hour? Will you see accounts that follow you? 🧐

New to the on-chain world. Looking forward to learning new things and meeting new people.

That's very interesting actually! Let's see if that's the case for everyone or not...
