Creator rewards algorithm will be updated later today. The main change is that repeat engagement from the same user over the week will give you fewer points than it used to. 

Scores will go down a little bit as a result of this change.

can you make it so that the OGs engaging with other OGs doesn't boost their engagement as it has been since the start? some of those top ten have much less engagement than I do, and yet I can never reach those spots.

Lets hope they expand their OG circle of trust.

Flowers for this it is so true. Everyone with a 2 aka GOOD user should rank the same. The Circle of trust NEEDS to be expanded and grown for the future and culture of this app.

So I've asked ChatGPT to analyse the data from the Rewards Leaderboard Top 10 I shared yesterday (thanks for the tip @dosir). This is what it came up with

Should we do this again next week?

📊 Key Insights
- High concentration of influence and interaction among top leaderboard creators and their superfans — with some appearing as top fans for 5+ creators.

- A potentially self-reinforcing system — those at the top engage with one another and remain highly visible.

- New reward logic could reduce “circular value exchange” — ideally diversifying who earns and who gets seen.

- Some users (like monadver, ejire5, gfam) may be acting like “engagement miners”, systematically liking/commenting on top creators.

✅ Suggestions (If You're Evaluating the System)
- Introduce diminishing returns on repeated engagement from the same user to the same creator.

- Reward diversity of fans — e.g. reward creators who attract engagement from new or varied FIDs.

- Visibility of top fans could itself become a reward metric, encouraging healthy discovery vs mutual reinforcement.
