Small network, there just aren't enough accounts with the network effect necessary to counter the trend of those who have a large following here. I think it's purely a product of size. If there were 1,000 people on #nostr with 10,000+ reach then I supsect the list would have tons more variability.

Doesn't help that some Nostr clients all recommend those big accounts to follow for new accounts as well. Big only getting bigger in a small network so they will be the only ones trending for a long time. I use nostr.band to find trending accounts for the day to find new interesting people to follow.
