I had to stop following people because of the current algorithm and start prioritizing my friends and established network When I follow a smaller account now a days, the algorithm pushes me (what feels like) A LOT of only that new peopleās contentā¦ and if I follow them, new people end up taking most of my feed. And unfortunately, a lot of new accounts with no crypto knowledge ask basic crypto questions that have been asked and answered 1000 times on the Farcaster forumā¦ and I donāt want to see crypto newbie type questions on my feed all day, or the alternative which is lifestyle slop content when you first joinā Iāve been there, I once was new on Farcaster. The difference is when I was new 18 months ago, so was almost EVERYONE. Weāve churned probably a million users with less than 1% dau retention left. As such, I feel loyalty to legacy accounts and I have to prioritize that 1% that has been here and stuck around through many different āseasonsā of Farcaster (or warpcast for the ogās) I need to prioritize my feed and my algorithm to show legacy accounts and their content. Thatās why I stopped following people recently and begun unfollowing people more. The algorithm pushes too much of new account content whether I follow or not. I am simply adapting my behavior around it. This is why I believe the algorithm is currently disenfranchising new users from the og Farcaster user base. Seen many legacy accounts complaining of these new accounts and their ācontent.ā

The crypto part has always been the biggest issue here imo Blockchain marketing > crypto assets

If someone doesnāt know what @base isā¦. Idk how they get to the top of the leaderboard tbvh and I donāt think they would if the algorithm reverted back before that change to prioritize ādiscovery of new usersā nobody cared about lifestyle slop before because nobody saw it besides your followers š¹ selfies werenāt getting shoved through the algorithm like champagne from the champagne region of France
