Looking for more feedback on my article OR if you’ve felt any shift in the algorithm over the past week. Data/metrics would be amazing. Will tip helpful comments!

Great work, thanks for sharing I have a feeling it’s downstream of the rewards algorithm. We know that the rewards algo artificially boosts accounts with smaller followings, and may also directly or indirectly boost new users These users then climb the rewards leaderboard, and a lot of other people are engaging with people at the top of the leaderboard So this has a downstream effect of boosting these new and/or smaller users, who are now showing up on everyone’s home feeds since they’re getting disproportionate engagement Just a theory, I haven’t looked into it too deeply yet, but I agree with you that there’s a serious issue here and it would be good to dig into more data

It’s definitely a bit circular. You see someone you’ve never seen on the leaderboard and check them out. Some of them are awesome and some are not. I look at it rarely mainly to see how it’s moving since they made some updates a few weeks ago. But I like this framing. I try to stay away from leaderboard specific stuff because I think it’s silly aka the algorithm that runs it. But the boosts definitely affect it! 250 $TIPN
