I’ve been using Warpcast for about a week now and my impressions so far are positive. I enjoy the platform and think that it has real potential. With this in mind I wanted to make a constructive criticism related to a particular subject: The initial follow list for new users. In theory an initial list is a good idea as it avoids the daunting experience of looking at a blank timeline. Such a list should ideally be drawn from channels that a new user indicates an interest in. Yet at present it is hard to understand the reasoning for many of the accounts included. The founders and builders of the company make sense since they can help a new user get acclimated to the platform. But many of the other names have no explanation. Many are not even active users. Are these friends? Investors? It is an ethical issue too since they stand to benefit a lot if the platform expands. I raise this point with the interest of the platform in mind. If I’m asking these questions I’m sure other new users will be in future.

Real talk - it’s a content supply side issue @dwr.eth has a series of casts about it somewhere, but last I checked it’s like 200+ people partially manually, partially programmatically that have been put together to optimize D30 retention with some randomness thrown in the spread it around. Some “inactive” accounts still get tons of engagement when they do cast bc they’re persons of interest (vitalik etc) so that’s why they’re in the list If you haven’t heard of them at all, they’re either in a niche you’re not familiar with but associated with the stuff you mentioned or they’re just active casters that people engage with here regardless of reach elsewhere The list will get better as the platform expands (same as it ever was), but we def have less than 1000 extremely “engaging” creators here (probably less than 100 tbh) - so it’s an immature network problem imo
