I bet if you look at the metrics my casting is WAY up since the $5 USDC cast rewards. It’s not the $5 but honestly I never considered myself a top caster. 

I just straight up had no way to know. I have a lot of followers but many people have twice as many. I post about esoteric sh*t like Public Goods and Grants Programs. Not popular topics at parties. I post to FC because I enjoy it.

The $5 reward was just some validation that the network appreciates my posting and then subconsciously I started posted both more and higher quality casts.

I haven’t gotten the $5 yet but I got my mom to join and she likes my posts sometimes so I’ve got that going for me which is nice.

For the boost or the $5? There’s some pretty big accounts getting it. But to be clear I’m just joking. We’re all here for the dopamine I mean the friends we’re making along the way right

Or if you meant that I have too many followers for how interesting I am, I totally agree 😂

It’s algorithmic. top 100 caster by interactions with your casts normalized by your following size of active users. I don’t think the exact algorithm has been published.

I thought the $5 awards were basically being hand-selected by @v to start ? Or did I read that wrong somewhere (I might’ve.)

lol. not meaning that you don't have quality things to say.
Just that the algo is based on your engagement compared to your active followers so could be harder for big accounts.
