two things can be true:

1. many farcaster users feel as though a 'FC Cabal' is favored at the client level, and enjoy permanent, outsized benefits from being active, early  

2. its totally possible to join Farcaster and grow an account from 0. I joined on Feb. 5th and my account is in the top 300 users by engagement according to most dashboards I've checked. You have to post & reply consistently, and it really helps to have something to say.

Imagine a social interaction platform where you can’t see replies of small accounts by default bc they don’t meet some not easy to achieve criteria. 

I don’t want to “work” to become visible. Its stupid. Consequently I essentially moved on from FC.

This has changed though? As far as I understand, I see your post here
