Virtually all of the people on Farcaster with large audiences: 1. Don't have large audiences elsewhere (Farcaster is their first time with a large audience) 2. Didn't know me or Varun and didn't know each other. The "Farcaster OG scene" is net new creation of Farcaster. 3. Were early and stuck around when everyone made fun of Farcaster (and people still do) 4. Continued to cast interesting stuff, casted in channels when we suggested people cast in channels 5. Warpcast onboarding asks all users for their interests 6. Based on the interests, we pair the account with an initial set of follows 7. There are 200+ accounts on the list, weighted toward accounts that get the most engagement / drive retention, but a large group of people benefit 8. On our list to improve, but the reality is outside of "I should be on the list!" haven't seen any concrete proposals to improve

I very much recognize myself in 1–4. Never really used Twitter, don’t live in SF or NYC, am not a founder nor a dev, I don’t hang out with Dan nor Varun. Just got in early-ish and stuck around, casting consistently about what I like. It’s worked out well and I’m grateful for it

I definitely did, and am under no delusion that anywhere near 100K pair of eyeballs are effectively reading (let alone enjoying) my casts. Dune says ~40% of my 100K followers are auto follows. Let’s say 90% of those are AWOL, bots, or don’t like my casts but are too lazy to unfollow. That’s still 4K earnest followers. Then there’s the 60K grown “organically” over 18 months. Let’s say 90% are AWOL or bots. That leaves 6K real followers. In total, that would be 10K genuine followers, which is 100x what I ever had on Twitter. I’m still very grateful for that!
