I claimed a bunch of Moxie token over the past few days – this appears to have accumulated organically as a result of my casts and interactions. I cannot tell what the mechanism is by which this occurs but it seems to be that when certain people respond to you it generates a lot of Moxie, whereas others do not. So you may have a trending and popular post but if the more powerful accounts don't engage with it there is not much Moxie generated.

I think it would be more democratic and come closer to achieving organic economic viability if the mechanism were more based on engagement agnostically rather than favoring certain accounts. At least the favoritism should not be so wildly disproportionate and can allow for posts enjoyed by lowbies to generate rewards rather than building around a few power users.

Moxie doesn't reward content based on quality

It simply provides a few hundred accounts disproportionate power to distribute the token based on the accounts with which they engage https://warpcast.com/0xt0ny/0x60e6fee3

Sometimes that power happens to reward (objectively) quality content (e.g. @mazmhussain)

But to say Moxie's design rewards the highest quality content simply isn't accurate

Couldn’t agree more.. Moxie *heavily* favors a small group of accounts

This has always been the case with Airstack's SCS / SCV (screenshot 1)..

And it may be seen via some quick spot-checking wrt Far Scores (screenshot 2, and in relation to what I shared with @kia.eth; someone else I know is grabbing that full dataset & will be sharing their findings)

do you have quantitative analysis on distribution of FarScores?

Disagree, it’s due to poor design.. doesn’t need to be so top heavy

100% agree.  I brought this up to the team and they didn’t think it was an issue as engagement farming is a normal according to them.
