This also means that if you are targeting engagement with high SCS users, there are only a few hundred people that actually matter. It's the ones you probably already know about. Of course it depends on how these scores are used in other apps, but the skew is real.

Moxie doesn't reward content based on quality

It simply provides a few hundred accounts disproportionate power to distribute the token based on the accounts with which they engage https://warpcast.com/0xt0ny/0x60e6fee3

Sometimes that power happens to reward (objectively) quality content (e.g. @mazmhussain)

But to say Moxie's design rewards the highest quality content simply isn't accurate

This cast has earned 5216 Moxie. For what it's worth, I agree with you. I think you just need to look at the top earning casts, and the quality to earning ratio (ok quality is subjective etc). Loudest voices get heard the most, but they're not always saying the most interesting things. And then it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy cycle, of course.
