why are there mini apps on the top ten trending list that I’ve never seen a single person talk about using? which metric are they optimizing for and how? 🤔

noun seven three zero | onchain experimentation maxi @ zerorights.media, zeropod.xyz, @betrmint, the /yellow collective

which ones? pretty sure the top 10 is based on transactions and transaction volume

Seems that way. Hope they can make the trending algo a little more robust in future — feels off to see thoughtful, sticky, useful apps like @matthewfox’s clankermon or @phil’s @ampsfun lagging behind some apps that I don’t think are really seeing as much organic use (but maybe I’m wrong?)

impact/usefulness can be hard to measure but i agree that the trending mini apps often surface apps that aren’t very popular and likely just have farmed activity since they’re gaming the trending mini app metrics - looking at you @farcasteradmin.eth :)

it's not the algo, not us, it's the people

you live in this world where these are the trending apps

when you complain, you simply yell at a cloud

The world where these are the trending apps has architects that have designed a system which make these apps the “trending apps”

Some of the top apps have been designed to game the system that the @farcaster team made which governs the trending app list 

In your analogy, i guess @dwr.eth and @v are the cloudgods
