Most people with large audiences on Farcaster: 1. Didn't know me before Farcaster 2. Did not have large audiences on Twitter or other platforms They were early and stuck around. https://www.eugenewei.com/blog/2019/2/19/status-as-a-service

To be fair, most people with large audiences on here were either a) on an auto-follow list and/or b) are mostly followed by farmers and bots

1. Auto follow list is based on interests which map to channels. 2. Auto follow list is 200+ people and it has randomness in it for 15% of follows 3. Auto follow list are people who were early, stuck around, and kept posting 4. Mostly followed by farmers / bots -- same for any big public social graph :)

Very interesting, I think worth adding art to onboarding interests with accompanying auto follow list

Definitely agree there is something to be said for being early and sticking around, Farcaster is my favorite community on the internet :) But I'm also not getting *hundreds* of bot followers per day on any other social platform and I would guess that no one on here has more than 20k "real" followers

it needs to rotate dan. there are more interesting accounts now (like mine) with the network growing. the 200+ list cannot be the same people everytime.

will there ever be changes to number 3.? were there many artists early on? maybe a new batch could be considered? 👀

If someone made a living list of promising accounts, that were vetted in some form, would you consider injecting some of those users into the auto follow list? Main beef with current set of 200 is that it can feel stagnant. And you have a rich get richer effect.
