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.

The main problem of all others (X & Co.) is exactly that. It is extremely hard for new accounts to be seen, which is a pity. Often times great content is not shown and everyone ends seeing the same stuff... There must be a way to balance high-ranked users with new accounts....

Haven't really studied the question, but maybe if a new account has just a few likes/comments from high profile accounts, that will give it a boost and present it to even more users and see if the trend of likes keeps going up vs. just using the total number of likes/comments as a main driver.

How do you determine what’s great without engagement?
