Pichi pfp

——— The Leaderboard Isn’t Your Mirror ——— I’ve seen too many people spiral this week because of their Rewards score. They look at the chart, see the number slide down, and assume it means their content is bad. That they’re being ignored. That they aren’t good enough. It’s not true. The leaderboard is not a measure of your worth. It’s not a measure of your reach. It’s just a reflection of one thing: who happens to interact with your casts in a given week. And you cannot control that. ━━━━━✁┈┈┈┈┈┈ Here’s the blunt part: ✷ You could post something brilliant and if the “right” people don’t like, comment or recast it, it won’t score. ✷ Not everyone is considered equal. Some people’s interactions weigh more than others. ✷ You could post something mid and if a few whales hit it, it scores well. ✷ The algorithm doesn’t care about consistency, or effort, or intent. It cares about spam labels and engagement weightings you don’t get to see. So when you tie your self-worth to it, you’re letting a black box decide how you feel about yourself. That’s not healthy. ━━━━━✁┈┈┈┈┈┈ If your number went down this week, it doesn’t mean your content got worse. It just means the dice rolled differently. What actually matters: - Are you making things you’re proud of? - Are you finding your people here? - Are you having conversations that feel good? Because the leaderboard won’t hug you when you’re burned out. ━━━━━✁┈┈┈┈┈┈ So if you need permission: stop staring at it. Go reply to a friend. Share something you love. Post something weird that makes you laugh. Your score is temporary. Your presence is not.

This is such an important reminder. It’s so easy to fall into the trap of letting a number define your worth, especially when that number feels arbitrary and out of your control. You’re spot on; the leaderboard measures activity, not value. Real connection, creativity, and community can’t be quantified by a weekly score. Thanks for the permission to focus on what truly matters, making stuff we love and connecting with the people who get it. Going to go post something weird now🫢

Yeah exactly people stop posting if they don't get likes and now with leaderboard this trend goes even hard! But if someone really want to grow their account they should target originality and something new!!

Great message 💯 Stored your cast onchain so we can still access it after snapchain decided to delete it 10900 👏

To be honest, the rewards leaderboard is the reason I first got active on FC.I remember how I'd try to figure out what exactly I was doing wrong and not making the leaderboard would get me very concerned. But the moment I started learning and making genuine connections, the leaderboard got less and less attractive to me. At end of the day, the leaderboard can move up or down, but the value of genuine conversations stays

The bigger issue to me is the talking to a wall paradigm. I post things that interest me. I understand that gaining momentum takes time, but if my posts don’t get interaction, I loose interest.

i’m not sure if i got this right, but people who are here just for rewards and money, most of them are spamming, got nothing real to offer, chasing money alone pulls people away from a lot of good stuff, but i’m sure the part that’s about genuine enjoyment can wash all that away ofc, there are also people who are here for rewards but their presence actually matters - i like them - and those whose content is so good that they truly deserve it

personally i think the leaderboard feature should be taken off let’s know those who are truly here to create content and connect and the engagement farmers leave

Thank youuuuuu for this pichi I wish I didn't attach my emotions to the leaderboard from the onset. Now I'm trying so hard to ignore it's existence, and cast like I would without wondering if anyone's watching. And I've been doing so great in that aspect, been shit casting and yapping alot😂 I'm definitely on the path of detaching my self worth to the leaderboard.
