rewards leaderboard has been a success so far imo by rewarding consistent posters and tapping into innate human competitiveness. users yearn for leaderboards and points. a few unfortunate side effects so far with regards to content on the timeline: - direct incentive to lazily copy paste content while scrolling twitter and pass it off as your own - inauthentic accounts mirroring the interests of popular accounts to farm engagement - incentive for top level casts > replies which may blunt conversational impulse - rings of accounts making quid pro quo agreements to boost each other’s content been thinking a lot about online identity and how we value content post- gen ai, and the rewards leaderboard has been an excellent prompt to explore these ideas. writing coming soon ish.

The leaderboard worked, more people are showing up and posting. But it’s also made the feed feel a bit off. Too much recycled content, less real talk. Makes you wonder a whole lot of things.
