In case anyone cares, the stunt resulted in me being the 328th most followed person on Farcaster.

Good data. I considered this. Were you ever mad to the point of thinking f this guy, not gonna follow despite his interesting background?

As a piece of ancedotal data, the reason your "stunt" worked on me:

You followed me -> 
This brought you into my notifcations ->
This caused me to look at your profile ->
Your profile is strong (Alliance is great)

Without the strong profile and/or some good casts above-the-fold, I would not have followed back.

But now the real question, are you a founder who will apply to alliance.xyz and validate my existence?

iOS Developer. My views are my own. 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 

I followed back because I knew you from X and have read some of your game-related stuff before

Once I had tripled the amount of follows I was allowed to have the app stopped me from following more people. Once I crossed double, it started deleting records. Buying new storage took time for the app to update.

very encouraging that your kinds of experiments are allowed on the platform, so the issue of the follow button was a rate limit issue?
