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

To be clear, I do NOT want to be on this list. If you read my grievance clearly, I am actually against the very idea of having such a arbitrary list for this core experience. Unless you want warpcast to be like a groupchat/discord server of 1000 people. This approach is a disaster at the scale beyond 1000 users. The core consumer experience turns insular.

Firehose; i.e. casts from all users… early Twitter did this and it was awesome

This would be a terrible UX.

Everyone seems to be against this list but I do think it helps you understand who are the builders of the protocols here, and it also helps you understand how people build and post content here so I do think it's a good way to learn about many diffrent proects
