Confession: the rewards leaderboard has been deterring me from wanting to make new content. I feel like I’m someone who puts a good amount of effort into my content, and definitely a lot with my scripted videos. I see a lot of people who make amazing, thoughtful content and never end up in the top 5.

Can you share some examples of other people who aren’t making it?

Kinda agree, not that I identify as someone who makes a lot of amazing/thoughtful content, but I'm feeling a very specific and different mentality of "I'm going to hustle the rewards leaderboard this week" then lightly burn out and take a break, get fomo, maybe repeat until I don't. Random idea: Nominate a cast to be considered for awards in some category (maybe monthly?) and have it be partly voting, partly metrics, partly curation. Like mini-oscars.

oh that's really wack I enjoy your content I think the issue here might be that that the leaderboard is designed for wordcels, not for video content you put more effort into your vids than the average youtuber lol maybe try short/dumb/post a lot? or hopefully we get different kinds of leaderboards

I sometimes wish I could opt out of all the leaderboards & rewards, they add stress and are unfortunately very hard to ignore imo

How could we improve it? Any specific examples you can share would be useful for improving the algo!

Interesting...I've never paid attention TBH, I just like waking up one morning with a notif that free money was airdropped to me. But now that you mention it, it kind of reminds me of college admissions: ultimately, there are so many great students who would do well, but you have to take a snapshot in time for a fixed number of seats. The real world doesn't work this way, everyone can win because the economy is not zero sum. Similarly, a more patronage based Farcaster economy should be the goal, the leaderboard is really just a temporary experiment. I felt the same way about 'streaks', which obviously would lead to quantity over quality.
