quarterly thank you note to whomever on the merkle team made the product decision to NOT show recasts on someone's main profile page and instead slotted them to the casts + replies tab

(i found a guy on X with great takes but having to scroll through retweets and retweets to find his takes is bad UX)

At first I thought recasts were pointless because of this.

Then recently, I learned that they still tell the Algo that the cast deserves extra visibility. 

So, recasts are basically awesome for helping frens without messing up your TL.

We do some music enjoying. We play some basketball. We degen with the homies.

I always just thought it was there for feels. But turns out it does have a point lol.

I had been wondering about this! Figured it was something like this but good to get some clarification without needing to ask 😅

Exactly! It’s like an up vote to increase the weighting 

Also shows them that you saw and appreciated it, which gives a nice signal boost & confidence

Yup! This is why I always recast content I like and want to have more exposure.

Where do recasts go? I still don’t know
