 Why does that list exist and how is it maintained? 
 Those are the "recommended npubs" from Primal. They just write the list themselves.

The tried to plebicize it, once, but it just ended up a slightly-longer list, with the same sort of entries. 
 Indeed.. I do remember that note.

Much better when a single users put down his best follows without none asking.. we used to that in the first months.

#plebchain was a great and organic method to create a nice follow list.. few. 
 They should not be using a centralized list IMHO. 
 Well, too late, now. Damage is done. Elites entrenched. 
 Uhmm.. I am not sure I agree, there's time to save all the new npubs that are about to come in the next months and years.. 

We should just shill less Primal as first entry. 
 It’s fixable. @miljan How about rethinking this stuff to make it organic and pleb-driven? 
 He has never responded to me or anything referring to me. 😅  
 Lol.. 

Well, you were The primalRaper or something similar.. 😂😂😜🫂🤙 
 Come out and fight like a man, Milan. 😂 
 Elites dont answer the plebs because they are afraid that they cant control the conversation 
 
 They can't. That's why it's fun. The pleb gains, even if they lose. The elite usually loses, even if they win. 
 Its a matter of time to plebs understand that the only thing the "elites" want from the is attention and says. 
 Indeed, I do believe is fixable and he can create a better solution.. 

For me the solution is give more power and tools to the user.. and the user should take responsibility and more action knowing the tools 🍀🫂🔥 
 I don't think it's directly fixable, TBH. You can only create new types of use cases and someone could make a name for themselves there, so that you end up with smaller hierarchies where the elites aren't automatically at the top.

You can't go back and reorder a social media hierarchy. They just compound, like interest. Every person who shows up will follow the same people as everyone else and add a few more, so first come, first serve.

Social media has such a low barrier to entry (post "GM", "stack sats", or a selfie or AI pic, once per week or month) that there's no real way to catch up through effort or talent. You have to shine someplace else and that might carry back over to social media because we don't have silos. 
 I see, yeah you are right about the compound effect..
For this reason on my side, when i noticed new user on my notifications or comments, I try to check through their notes and repost notes I liked.

Repost is so underrated.. one repost is much more valuable than a 1000 sats if reposted at the right time by an account with more followers. 
 Yup. 
 True, and I'll zap you anyway 😂 
 Absolutely. It's against many reason I got here in first place..

I like a square where there's no podium created for some tonbe more visible. 
 Th why I dp believe was because of the issue for new users to not follow anyone.. but I do believe would better to create a list that changes depending on hastag, or topic or words nost used. So like "Show me the users that use #bitcoin words more, or "economic" "nature" "art" and so on..

A static list is nosense..

I am saying also this since a couple of months 🔥🤙🫂🍀
