While it's great that the auto-follow list is no more, the damage has already been done in that any (off-the-shelf) influence-driven algorithm will heavily skew to favor accounts that were on that list.. unless proper adjustments have been made

And if you're developing your own proprietary influence-driven algorithm, it's imperative to take this into account cc: @betashop.eth

Some food for thought for the @openrank & @airstack.eth teams..

Specific to OpenRank's Following Rank + Airstack's Far Score: excluding accounts that have never casted (there are 200K+!) from your respective algorithms (when looking to the followers of an account) will help alleviate the skew which heavily favors accounts that were on the auto-follow list

I wonder why my Airstack rank is an order of magnitude lower compared to my Openrank.... For most users they're similar right?

They’re all over the place tbh, here’s mine. 

Feels like people who don’t game their follower count by doing f4f and didn’t do degen farming posts (which led to increased follower counts and worthless interactions) just get pushed down the rankings 🙃

Frequently incoherent. Hater. Not interesting. Very boring.

It’s both, but having more influential people following or interacting is worth more. It’s just easier to game the system by having a bunch of followers because they don’t really need to interact with your content to boost your rank

So I guess it's more connected to followers than engagement? I'm really curious though why my case seems to be more extreme...
