if all you care about here is the leaderboard, you're gonna have a bad time

it's never been (only) about quality of words you put in your casts (the same sentence hits different from different people). it's all about (transitive) PoW — and that's a good thing 

fwiw that's why anoncasting, in its current form, is almost entirely uninteresting

fortune cookie casts, memes, parenting, building mini apps, /framedl, /framedl-pro & /calmer

Even though I see a dissonance between the “cabal” and the rest, I notice that the difference seems to be disappearing.  Probably it’s my concern about that difference that seems to be disappearing.

i read your first reply again and finally understood (and absolutely agree)

the sooner you stop caring*, the better off you are

*—doesn't mean it's useless to try and help to design better systems

Well,  i see that there are clear influencers on farcaster, right? 

People who can say two words, get 100s of views,  sit on the leaderboard,  make money via leaderboard rewards, airdrops, etc.

So you feel like the game is rigged against you. 

However!  It seems like more of those folks, “the cabal” if you will, do indeed interact with everyone, on the one hand.  Which helps, if you are focused on the leaderboard, just because things are interesting right. 

On the other,  as a little folk (we’re all our own version of little folk) spending more time just interacting with what you’re interested in (popular influenced or not) can satisfy interests,  help you have a good old time, and see some rewards (monetary or otherwise) as well. 

So you see a lot of folks feeling better about being wherever they are on the leaderboard, earning some rewards, and more importantly, just having a good time on farcaster.

Aka spend more time having fun, then the split between big and small dissipates.
