Warpcast now uses an ML model to order casts. If you have many unread casts, the model decides which ones go at the very top of your feed. It's main purpose is to learn your preferences and show you the most interesting stuff first. I'll go into some more details on how it works in the thread below.

Today's model uses 4 main features to "rank" a piece of content: 1. How often you like casts from the author 2. How often the author casts 3. How many interactions the cast has 4. How old the cast is

every time i refresh feed i see casts from this one user at the top majority of the time. we never interact with each other tho. somehow it's not picking up that i follow the user but am really not engaging with their content so it should be low priority and def not the first cast i see on feed 10 consecutive times.

@v i share the example above to ask, if you think point #1 in your cast should weigh more compared to the other 3 because the reason why the user keeps popping at the top of my feed is because of points 2-4.
