I keep seeing people lamenting that the current system favors the OGs and hinders anyone new to the platform.

But if you look at who is actually on those leaderboards?

A lot of us are newbies who found a home that somehow just works for the way we do things and we're finally being blessed for simply being who we are in a place that welcomes us.

"Farcaster is too hard to grow a new account"

This is not the right way to measure that
of course there will always be people that come gets the right eye once and the accounts blows. 
but have you compared how many users have left
how many onboarded and active vs how many left and inactive account

if a lot of people are saying it's hard to grow and they are leaving 
we should be taking that more seriously rather than trying to prove otherwise.

i say this cuz i care and i don't jump on a bandwagon like others
and kiss ass hoping i get a follow or something

if you want to hear some of the pain points i feel as a user my dm's are always open and i'd be happy to share my thoughts
