People don’t want to see uninteresting replies and casts.

Best way to solve for that is weight historical inbound engagement for a user, i.e. PageRank-like score for every user.

Disproportionally hurts new accounts. Making it harder to get started.

maybe this could be counterbalanced by an algo boost for new accounts with interesting casts?

How do you know what new casts are interesting before they have engagement?

Maybe that’s what you’re paying for when you first sign up: the benefit of the doubt.
