Virtually all of the people on Farcaster with large audiences: 1. Don't have large audiences elsewhere (Farcaster is their first time with a large audience) 2. Didn't know me or Varun and didn't know each other. The "Farcaster OG scene" is net new creation of Farcaster. 3. Were early and stuck around when everyone made fun of Farcaster (and people still do) 4. Continued to cast interesting stuff, casted in channels when we suggested people cast in channels 5. Warpcast onboarding asks all users for their interests 6. Based on the interests, we pair the account with an initial set of follows 7. There are 200+ accounts on the list, weighted toward accounts that get the most engagement / drive retention, but a large group of people benefit 8. On our list to improve, but the reality is outside of "I should be on the list!" haven't seen any concrete proposals to improve

questions unrelated to "why am I not on the list?" - How long will the autofollow list exist? - Does Warpcast track how anyone on the list monetizes their 'free' audiences? - Do we have a sense of the $ value for a founder to be included on the list vs. a founder who is not on the list? Is being on the list a benefit for building on FC? - How do you measure which accounts drive retention? Do you regularly compare accounts on & off the list to see who is driving engagement & retention? - Are public attempts to surface autofollows in public data using /neynar + /dune accurate? Your points are valid, I get why AF exists. But I've seen you & others make these general points before: it hasn't changed the fact that lots of people *feel* differently about Farcaster & autofollows. Might be worthwhile considering this disconnect a bit more @chasesommer.eth and I worked on this: https://dune.com/chasesommer/farcaster-auto-follow?Number+of+Accounts_n89e9b=200&autofollow_timediff_n29ba9=5

Is being on the list a benefit for building on FC? > An audience is valuable to a founder. Hard to quantify $. - How do you measure which accounts drive retention? Do you regularly compare accounts on & off the list to see who is driving engagement & retention? > Inbound engagement from other quality users and subjective sense of is the content higher effort / interesting. - Are public attempts to surface autofollows in public data using /neynar + /dune accurate? > Just take the most followed accounts on the network? I'd challenge you to have a concrete list of 50 accounts you think should be on the list that aren't (based on follow counts).
