“What are you doing to help small accounts on Farcaster?” We have a lot more work to do, but here’s what we’ve done in the last few months to improve: 1. Moved initial feeds away from a follow-based model to algorithmic and interest-based model 2. A daily set of boosted accounts with <10K followers 3. USDC rewards normalized by followers 4. A bunch of experiments and tweaks to improve the home feed to show interesting casts from people you don’t follow yet More to come!

Growing a small account is not easy anywhere. Period. I’d argue it’s easier to grow on Farcaster than on X or IG or any other platform. Keep showing up and be active.

Imagine all those who don’t have PB. Honestly, it should disappear forever from anywhere on Farcaster, not just on Warpcast.

I understand the common complaint from many of our peers that without PB they feel invisible here I know I wouldn't have grown my account like this without it That said, I do think many of our peers need to evolve from a mindset of broadcasting their art (social media) to more genuine value-added engagement on the platform (social networking) The things I learned from our peers when I first joined the space on X like posting my art in group chats to try to amplify one another, responding to shill threads, etc, didn't seem to work for me there and don't seem to work here, either While I'm not selling art through my presence here (only an extremely lucky few prominent artists seem to be selling art anywhere), at least I don't feel invisible this way I hope you see what I mean

I partially understand what you're saying, but only those of us without PB can truly understand how we feel. Everyone will only get it when we're all on equal footing. I keep saying that it doesn't depend on the content of the casts but on whether you have PB or not. For example (and this is just an example), my casts get more engagement—more replies, likes, and views—than most of yours, and yet, you have PB and I don’t. I sincerely wish someone would explain this to me. Truly. I've been here since early February. At first, I had PB for several weeks, and during that time, I gained around 1,600 followers. Then I went on vacation and lost PB. Since then, my follower count has stopped growing. I was stuck like that for months. A few weeks ago, I got PB again, and the followers I gained from 1,600 to where I am now were all during that week. Then I lost PB again, and now I’m stuck once more.

You're right - I will never understand what it felt like to be here as an artist without a PB because I had one That said, when I share my art, it gets almost no traction Sharing art in that broadcast formula seems not to be interesting to most users of the platform - I can't blame them for that So, I share a piece of experimental art every day so that when people browse my profile they see the evolution of my artistic practice I've given up on sales for now, which I have the luxury of being able to do because I have a day job that pays the bills Instead, I focus on things that I can try to grow, what few things here I can control
