Data

Over the last few days, the number of daily top-level casts has exceeded the number of replies for the first time ever

We all knew the Rewards Leaderboard would drive behavior changes. It’s nice to see the data support that theory. 

I think this means it’s a good time to be a genuine and authentic reply guy. When engagement on most posts goes down, good comments will shine through the noise.

I think it’s all about being authentic. 

Top level casts peaked also because we had new users - so correlate the number with new users, rather than just rewards behavior. Also the algorithm pushed up people that came back after 30 days. Another help, usually this is a top level, non reply cast. 

Don’t think it’s super rewards related. But I do agree - being valuable in the replies is also a good thing! And top post when it makes sense.

If this many people joined and returned for “pro” than we are really onto something here. 

Maybe it was the 9,000 top level casts trying to get the $PRO airdrop.

We have Pro subs after the 10,000 as well - currently standing at over 12,000! The remaining 2,000 did not come for the NFT for sure - they are here because they want the platform to succeed

I think even more are farmers. Those were just the stand out accounts, aka super new or 0 followers, plus some that were a little older but still super sus. 

I’d bet we have about 5,000 that are really true believers. The rest are speculating on the NFT.

So there were debates re farmers. Even if 1/4 were, the remainder currently makes up for it. 

It literally means we have about 10,000 truly pro users, as of date. 

And I presume as a pro, you’re coming here daily. And the DAUs are higher than that anyway (like 40-60k afaik)

Yes. We’ve been debating how good the first 10k really was. The folks post NFT are here for the vibes.
