two things can be true: 1. many farcaster users feel as though a 'FC Cabal' is favored at the client level, and enjoy permanent, outsized benefits from being active, early 2. its totally possible to join Farcaster and grow an account from 0. I joined on Feb. 5th and my account is in the top 300 users by engagement according to most dashboards I've checked. You have to post & reply consistently, and it really helps to have something to say.

We should celebrate and study the success stories for sure. We should also ask whether the frequency of success is optimal or acceptable or reflective of group values. Unpopular opinion: from Feb to July, fewer than 5 accounts have been able to achieve Proxy Studio's level of growth. The market had priced in at least 500 accounts being able to grow to >5K followers in 5 months

yeah, I agree. which is why I think we should take seriously number 1 I didn't have the feeling it was impossible to grow when I started here, it felt hard but doable. what can we do to bring that back?

do you have data on the "fewer than 5 accounts" bit? or just your feeling would love to see it

I can name a ton of accounts in my cohort with similar growth.

This is a useful observation to share, and express publicly. Maybe unfair of me to ask, so totally optional to answer. Does anyone else care to throw out rough numbers, before we all do some fun data investigation? I present three claims, before looking at the data: 1. "Proxy Studio grew from 0 to top 300 users by engagement, between Feb 5, 2024 and July 5th, 2024." 2. "fewer than 5 accounts grew from [0] to [Proxy's current follower count, which is 16.3~16.5k] over that same time period" 3. "The market expected 500 accounts to grow to >5k followers over that time period." Suggesting that the number that actually did is a disappointing number

using a public Neynar query, simple FID versus follower count-- My Claim 2 is false. 39 accounts have FID > 270k and >16k followers. Eyeballing, about 25% are recognizably humans to me. I was off by 2x to 4x. Some of the rest are like tocd, alfafrens, drakula, rugdotfun, enjoytech. My suggestion 3 is true. Only 391 accounts in total exist with FID > 270k and >5k followers. Even with bot assistance. I'll share more later about the shapes of the data, as well as the reach/engagement of these groups. Neynar query is public for anyone who wishes to fork

quick analysis on OpenRank, engagement <= 125 (proxy is #95, I am #155), FID > 200k (wide net) I have bolded the ONLY 6 accounts I think are real people, NOBODY arrived after Proxy. BFG was around the same time. Let us celebrate @pichi @bitfloorsghost.eth @edit @proxystudio.eth @yonfrula @bleu.eth

Please keep investigating! I’d love to see it by influence as well. I was using the OpenRank data I could find in Dune and I saw a lot of accounts with FIDs in the 200-400k range in the top 100 list, but many are brands.
