4. Following feeds are bad 

Everyone thinks they want a following feed. But even the people who ask for it churn faster when they get it. 

Following feeds get progressively worse as you follow more people. People used to complain that "the algo" didn't show them their friends.

This was surprising because at that time we didn't have an algo. It turned out they always followed a few people who casted 50 times a day and just drowned out everyone else.

am i the only one on following feed? 🤔

i get that they may be bad from an onboarding/churn perspective, bc people dont know what they want, or follow people theyre not actually interested in to start. but theyre good for liveness and synchronous events and topics, which are necessary for (esp crypto) social. izo

haters will say most people like being spoonfed content and it requires too many brain cells to filter content on ur own

surfacing voices, using tools, deleting data, farping /farp, ****ing /xxxx, drinking single origin black coffee

cud b. idk. but thats what they’re saying rn
