FID vs. OpenRank "Engagement" Ranking: - https://dune.com/queries/3901607 - *ridiculously heavily* skewed towards the earliest users of Farcast - Why? Because the algorithm starts off by selecting a trusted group of core users based on metrics heavily biased in favor of early users (see https://docs.openrank.com/integrations/farcaster/ranking-strategies-on-farcaster). - early users receive multiple boosts to engagement due to similar algorithms being used everywhere (e.g. Power Badge, Degen Tips), which results in a positive feedback loop. FID vs. Follower Count: - https://dune.com/queries/3901623/6557858 - nearly impossible for users who registered after a certain point to create the mega followings of the earliest users Why not use first cast or registration date? Dune's Neynar data doesn't have this <= 2023-09. If anybody has an alternative data source I can use on Dune, it would be much appreciated. Next: I investigate the degree of cliquiness in early users, if anybody is interested?

1- is there a good ratio for following/follower? and what ratios are considered bad ones? 2- Also as a normal account registered on feb 2024, a lot of the first follower were banned later and lost their powerbadge, does this affect my account now? 3- if i go to followers on mobile app i will find a group of account that didn't interact with since a while, it is better to unfollow? sorry for lot of questions and appreciate your reply

1 - Degen Tips has a ratio where you get considered a spammer, but I'm not going to publish it here in case it gets revived; I don't know if WC has something in their algos 2 - No idea, PB is classified Top Secret 3 - No idea, WC is closed source

A while ago someone tagged me in a cast to bring attention to some very new users, following nobody, having like 90 followers, no casts, and still with a power badge No idea what it means tho

Most of the time you'll see those users are followed by dwr or v, but in rare cases no explanation has been found

If they keep PB around after this week (they're doing an experiment to disable it) I'm going to dig into it

I think it must be an algo error simply tbh I checked them on dune, no unfollowers, no deleted cast, literally account made and 1 or 2 likes made sometimes or none at all, and followed a bunch of people Wait this makes me realize, it might be in the following

occam's razor - an anon account of a person who is important to the team that owns the algo. the fact you can't find anything suggests they don't want to be known

While I consider occam's razor a compeltely irrelevant philosophy in our times where nothing is as it seems at first glance, in this scenario Occam’s razor would lead to the conclusion of that there's a mistake, as they don't match the powerbadge criteria, everything beyond that is theory crafting
