No offense to anyone but I just don’t believe that the majority of my 21k followers are engaged / real people. 

For so long fc was *only* highly engaged people. Love the growth but worried we’re losing the magic

I think revealed preference across both Twitter and Farcaster is people want number go up and have no issue interacting with the people they care about.

Counter argument — the engaged people still follow me and engage. Who cares about the others (I don’t)

Nothing. I think the natural outcome of people making $ in the FC ecosystem is that people will try to game (even with paid signups). 

That said, I think it's important for both WC and the builder ecosystem to not overpivot on raw numbers. Retention is all that matters. I have no doubt you're thoughtful about this.

Absolutely. Lots of good efforts to keep the graph high signal. In my estimation, they’re working

Agree, but I think Token gated chats and Channels will help find a place to still interact with those high signal people @dwr.eth

No no no. To be clear, I like the vanity metric!

Good to meet you, I’m scharf

could always ask to be removed from the new account auto follow list, like i have no idea how or why i’m following you. i had about 90 default follows the moment i joined the other day

Magic is there. Some $DEGEN spam, but it did bring in a lot of people. 

New algo tweaks will make it better imo.

Are the 21k followers in the room with us now?
