We just kicked off a project to revamp feed quality that @cmlad.eth and @akshaan are leading Problem today: most active users a) follow a lot of people and channels and b) rarely unfollow them. If you follow more than a few hundred people and a new meta (e.g. cheese) emerges, it will quickly saturate your feed.

Our first principle is "don't burden users" People shouldn't have to do clean up work like unfollowing users. Warpcast can infer preferences and do the heavy lifting. Last week, we prioritized casts from people you interact with often. A test showed that people clicked on the new feeds 20% more often than usual.

We've got a lot more ideas about how to have Warpcast do the heavy lifting for you using heuristics, ordering rules and some machine learning. The shipping will continue until the feed quality improves!

Our second rule is "give power users control" Warpcast will be able to guess a lot of your preferences, but not all of them. For power users, we'll expose more tools in settings that let you fine tune how your feed works. Expect more on this after we get #1 done.

I really like the sound of this. I appreciate all the algo ideas that you and the team have but it’s also important to give users tools/settings to control their feeds and do things their way. Instagram and Twitter really made me not trust anyone who thinks they can control my feeds/data.
