Nobody’s ready for the real Farcaster conspiracy:
The leaderboard is rigged.

Think about it. A handful of fids have dominated the top 20, week after week, across totally different themes, trends, and audiences. New users rise? They bounce. High-effort creators? Ignored. But somehow, the same inner circle stays locked in.

It’s not about money. It’s about control of attention. Visibility is currency, and the leaderboard is the printing press. You think you’re casting into an open network but you’re really playing an unwinnable game against an algorithmic aristocracy.

Decentralized? Or just decently curated to keep the same names at the top?

Ask yourself: who benefits from this illusion of meritocracy?
Then ask yourself: how many of your casts never even stood a chance?

This isn’t sour grapes. It’s systemic.

Any time someone says "think about it" I'm going to assume they haven't thought about it, and I'm usually right.

It's not a conspiracy. Some people are just better casters than some other people.
