FID vs. OpenRank "Engagement" Ranking: - https://dune.com/queries/3901607 - *ridiculously heavily* skewed towards the earliest users of Farcast - Why? Because the algorithm starts off by selecting a trusted group of core users based on metrics heavily biased in favor of early users (see https://docs.openrank.com/integrations/farcaster/ranking-strategies-on-farcaster). - early users receive multiple boosts to engagement due to similar algorithms being used everywhere (e.g. Power Badge, Degen Tips), which results in a positive feedback loop. FID vs. Follower Count: - https://dune.com/queries/3901623/6557858 - nearly impossible for users who registered after a certain point to create the mega followings of the earliest users Why not use first cast or registration date? Dune's Neynar data doesn't have this <= 2023-09. If anybody has an alternative data source I can use on Dune, it would be much appreciated. Next: I investigate the degree of cliquiness in early users, if anybody is interested?

The OPENRANK SEED only having Farcaster OGs was pretty obvious, so I'm not surprised by these results... 🫠 Master, thank you for the amazing data.😆

Yeah but I saw people trying to use their OR for some analysis and I think it's too skewed to be used for that purpose

I think the balance is off too.🫠 I think there just aren't enough SEEDs to evaluate a node of this scale. If they add people other than OGs to the SEEDs, it might balance things out. Then the next question becomes who and how to select those Seed people...🫠

Depends on what you want to use the rank for?
