It's still such a small network, that you would think that there would be _some_ correlation between how interesting and unexpected something is and how frequently it appears in your feed, or how often it appears on your trending list, but, alas, there is none.

It's almost entirely an artefact of follower count. Everyone is staring at the same handful of people, waiting for a new picture of a coffee cup, an update on What Trump Did, a reminder to STACK SATS, or a pronouncement to cheer some rich or famous person they don't actually know, who is getting richer or famouser because reasons or other reasons.

Also amazing how formulaic and systematic the most popular npubs are. It's always the same pattern, the same routine, the same imagery. It's only a matter of time, before someone creates impersonation bots that really, convincingly impersonate. There's so much material and so little variance....
