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!

Agree, I think Farcaster is skewing towards rewarding new users more, get them to the “aha moment”, quickly, and get them to refer others. Not the best for old account, but boosts overall growth

This and last week things went pretty well with engagement. I think it's difficult to measure a boost because, for example, if they're introduced by casters with authority. If they follow or recommend them, others will be more likely to follow or interact. Perhaps a script could be created with engagement over time for both new and old accounts. I'm not sure yet if that will yield any results.

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
