The Algo’s Just Not That Into You

The author claims Farcaster's feed algorithm is artificially boosting some newer accounts with 1,000 to 3,000 followers, who get 10,000 or more views, while established accounts with over 100,000 followers see reach fall by as much as 67%. The argument is that this reach cannot be explained organically and points to external amplification. The text cites six large accounts whose unique-account reach over 30 days ranged from 1,500 to 15,400, and one newer account reaching 10,500 unique accounts. The text also acknowledges that timing, interaction graphs and reposts by top casters could explain such swings, so the boosting claim is not proven.
