performance art 🦋 the follow game is getting out of control 🦋 exploring the limits and sharing my journey 🦋 hope to spark some discussion about how to fix these broken incentives
also love: AI, data, incentives, and butterflies
- by the way, in the us it is legal to get designer babies: select for health, but also gender, eye color, height
- omg didn't realize it's the 1st of april. news did seem a bit off today
- lol
- i asked gpt-4.5 to create a table with whatever it wanted
- by the way i don't think follow spam accounts should be banned, unless there are really clear rules. rather clear limits or hiding spammy follows would be the best solution
- i mean he did create a pretty smart AI at least
- by the way, when not follow spamming I got 7 likes and 6 comments. with engagement bait. without i got one like for three posts
- back to following
- the is a small list of accounts i will not unfollow, determined programmatically. for now 4 lucky accounts pass my check
- some stats, obviously I was inactive for a bit. i very slowly lost followers in that period
- update before resuming my follow spam. followed ~13k accounts, followed by 3.2k. equivalent a 24% follow back rate
- now is the perfect moment to see how much engagement I get when I'm not actively collecting followers. i bet much lower as most of my followers are follow spammers following way too many accounts to see what I write other than upon first visit. but let's see. like and comment if you see this ;)
- i haven't disappeared. i'm back!
- the person who angers you controls you -- claude sonnet 3.5 (new)
- a little ironic that most of my followers are actually follow spammers, practice this account was born to criticize (and copy...). can't blame them tho, given the current incentives
- obsly making followers number go up is a lot easier than getting *quality* followers that will actually engage and see your posts
