Data

Over the last few days, the number of daily top-level casts has exceeded the number of replies for the first time ever

Most recent I could find https://farcaster.xyz/v/0x171954de

interesting, do you know if that was that publicized anywhere? that could def be part of it

I'm thinking it could also potentially be caused by the launch of Noice, which correlates time wise too.  top-level casts seem to get more Noice tips compared to replies

This is probably because top level casts are preferred in Rewards rankings. I believe this change is correlated time wise

Yeah quote casts are included in top-level

I have both of those charts on my Farcaster Usage dashboard:

Do top level casts also then correlate to new user signups and returns of users who were silent for sometime (say 30 days)?

I don’t think it’s fully rewards driven fwiw

Also kind of interesting to see the amount of replies downtrending for a while, wonder if there's something else as well

Fascinating and also a bit scary. The network may be decentralized but the incentives are still very centralized. 

If rewards were suddenly switched to only casts with the phrase “we love centralization” then that’s prob what we would get.
