The Algo’s Just Not That Into You

The author contends that Farcaster's feed algorithm is artificially boosting certain newer accounts, and that this is eroding trust across the platform. The argument rests on reach figures: some casts from accounts with 1,000 to 3,000 followers reportedly get 10,000 to 18,000 views, while longtime casters with over 100,000 followers have seen reach fall by 29% to 67%. The author says that a 1,000-follower account reaching 10,000 people requires external amplification, though the author also concedes that timing, interaction graphs and reposts by top casters could explain some variation.
