The Algo’s Just Not That Into You...

Some of us have been watching this for weeks, using public data (via Dune + new tools) to confirm what we’ve felt:

The feed is ghosting longtime contributors and artificially launching newcomers into orbit.

Let's dig in!

"artificial algorithmic boosting" is alive and well

farcaster (client) is centralized

opinionated and can function as tastemakers/gatekeepers

no different than web2 social in this regard

Yes. We will continue focusing on our client.

assuming that takes off, will you still invest in this client?

just noticed your comment is shown as first in Farcaster and last in coinbasewallet

Another well-funded client with an entirely different algo launches tomorrow.

I've always really liked the idea of highlighting your favourite piece from an article and get it turned into a sharable asset

one day!

Okay the highlights look slick!

I am going to steal this when I want to share someone else’s paragraph article!

@colin this could be a super cool (but maybe over-engineered) mini app share feature. It looks slick. 

Thanks so much for sharing!

Honestly its a great opportunity for someone to make a paid service to pull follower casts and filter for specific topics. Interested in what @vrypan.eth is cooking up here as a miniapp, but we could have a world of specialized "news groups" that post to farcaster.

Another funny thing is this is technically recreating RSS where your client polls for specific servers and posts, but I guess its RSS 2.0 with crypto rails.
