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.

In general, the goal for smaller accounts should be to add value. There are many ways to add value. It could mean to literally add value by building a product or token. Or it can be creating value by adding valuable insights to conversations or even just being funny and kind.
