Suggestion To Improve Rewards Algo *** Build Up Farcaster Upper-Middle Class Not a complaint--true suggestion. We are seeing casts about 'points freezing.' I think there's an issue. (more in thread) But I think there's a connected & bigger issue: The algo doesn't love the upper-middle class of FCers Algo rightly weights OGs/auto-follows (Maybe too much, but np) Algo also is great for newcomers as we've seen 10-12 times in the top10 (Love it!) BUT, a lot of great FCers are in the 2K-15K & not OG/auto-follow. They are, however, some of the most thoughtful, discerning, engaging FCers. You can see the algo doesn't love or often like them. I can get numerous r/c, comments, likes from them & get no points from them on a 'good' cast. On others I can get similar Middle class action & get a couple interactions from OG/AF types & get numerous points all from the OG/AFs. I love Rewards & benefit from it. Think this would improve it. 👊 ( @dwr.eth @v ) see freeze examples below

Thanks for the feedback. Varun already shared the stuck score issue which we can iterate on. 1. What does it mean the "algo doesn't love"? They aren't in the top 500, i.e. scoring, or they are just further down the scoreboard? 2. Do you have a list of users you think are being penalized (explicitly or implicitly)? 3. Do you have examples of casts?

Algo doesn't love = when they engage with casts (at least mine) (r/c, like, comment) they often do GIVE any rewards to the person casting and you can see how low they are in the roll call of likes and recasts. So, I get a combination r/c-s, comments, and likes from several of what I'm calling great FC and get 0 points (or maybe 22). I get a like from Ted, a like & r/c from nounishprof, and a comment from Adriene among my engagement and get maybe 700 Reward points. #2 & #3 coming....might take me a minute...(appreciate you asking)
