Maybe that's because people here care about what these people say. I may be wrong, would you consider championing a fix for potentially broken nostr trending algos? We have history of trending on nostr.band, all data is available on our relay and API, construct a better trending list than what we had for yesterday, and I bet people will zap you like crazy. I will give 500k for algo that's consistently better.

Obviously, people here care about what those people have to say, but everyone follows them, already, so the trending list adds no information, and many people arriving probably don't care about what they have to say and see the trending list and assume this is just a shrine to a few personalities and a place to say incomprehensible texts full of naughty words.

Perhaps we really can come up with something "better", that doesn't merely list the things everyone has already seen, but that aids discovery of interesting conversations. This is merely a statistical problem. We will think about it. 🤔

I think @PABLOF7z and @Don't Believe The Vibe 🌱🍋🍊 are already working on it. Can they be in on the bounty?
