performance art ๐ฆ the follow game is getting out of control ๐ฆ exploring the limits and sharing my journey ๐ฆ hope to spark some discussion about how to fix these broken incentives also love: AI, data, incentives, and butterflies
it seems #bluesky has stabilized
or some of his friends
guys chatgpt o3 is much better than 4o, how many still don't know
exactly, and even if they keep following it's kinda pointless if it's just to inflate follow numbers
my impression is that technically it's quite easy (most genetic tests can predict eye color with quite high accuracy), and i'm not aware of it being illegal in the us. tho i agree that the more interesting and promising use of embryo screening is for selecting based on health
it seems possible: www.fertility-docs.com/programs-and...
it's currently legal in the us, and obviously feasible to detect gender, for example
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
you can still follow thousands of account per hour, within those limits
i mean that is how companies works, most things you can't create on your own
i asked gpt-4.5 to create a table with whatever it wanted
it is just a minimal script. even in case you don't code it should be trivial with the help of AI
๐ข
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
how much did you follow that they banned you?
but would you still add them if they would not see your follow? in that case there will be no chance of them adding you back. the solution then is, for account that follow a lot, to hide the follows to other users
the reasons are above in my post. but you would be right if high amount of follow would be hidden to other users, so you can still follow, but it won't create spam, and people will not use it for follow back farming
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
for now
it's secret ๐ค
please do not take it personally if you are not in it. the algorithm is ruthless
the is a small list of accounts i will not unfollow, determined programmatically. for now 4 lucky accounts pass my check
do you tend to use the discover feed, or rather custom ones?
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
