This also means that if you are targeting engagement with high SCS users, there are only a few hundred people that actually matter. It's the ones you probably already know about. Of course it depends on how these scores are used in other apps, but the skew is real.

Moxie doesn't reward content based on quality

It simply provides a few hundred accounts disproportionate power to distribute the token based on the accounts with which they engage https://warpcast.com/0xt0ny/0x60e6fee3

Sometimes that power happens to reward (objectively) quality content (e.g. @mazmhussain)

But to say Moxie's design rewards the highest quality content simply isn't accurate

People are just camping Jesse and DWR's casts now for the chance they'll get a reply.  It's going to get worse before it gets better.  Love how well @mazmhussain has been doing, snagging some of his fan tokens tonight.

For sure, however I have a much better chance of getting Dan to respond to  a thoughtful reply on his cast than him responding to my original casts (even though he follows me).  Maybe that’s because I don’t have engaging original casts or he’s more into keeping the conversation going on his casts.  Glad you’re aware of this and I agree in principle but it’s something to keep an eye on and a downside of the heavily weighted SCS with the top few users.  A more balanced SCS system would fix this.

One reply from Jesse or Dan is worth more than a week of my usual engagement.  Food for thought.

Spent a lot of time replying to casts today since notifications were insane. Many great questions and user feedback but seeing more cases of clear engagement farming. So my ask is with building Bountycaster to please reply with genuine questions since helps guide actual user pain points / features to prioritize 🙏

It’s clearly happening a few hours after we discussed this.  Should be interesting how these high lvl accounts deal with this constant engagement farming.

people have been doing this since the beginning of social media

it doesn't work

people with high social capital will ignore and tune out lame attempts from people to engagement farm

the way to get engagement is post something interesting

I keep telling him how awesome he is, he probably thinks I'm a crazy person/stalker at this point. 😆
