How would that help you? You would merely qualify for screening and then get ignored by the curators if your posts were low quality. Probably blocked too for spam.
There would be no incentive to fake it, but if you were a small account with something to say and posted consistently you’d get picked up by the curators.

screen time has value, and manually blocking doesn't work as one can simply create billions of other identities, starting over every time.
This is simply pushing the problem to the curators then.
There’s no value in being 1 in 2K on one particular obscure feed that’s useful mostly to serious curators looking to be the guides (DJs so to speak) of the protocol.
And yes, it makes the enormous problem (curating the entire protocol) manageable for those who are up for the task and pushes it onto them.

I disagree. The more the "guides" of the curators are used, the more value can be extracted by influencing curators.
If the curator is any good, he won’t be sharing most of the posts. So if you’re posting garbage just to get into the feed, it won’t bear fruit. And if you’re posting quality things, it will, and then it’s not a problem.
it's quite bizarre that nobody thinks that simply people talking to each other for work and play reasons and paying for the infrastructure and development through subscriptions is enough
no, we gotta have all that money sloshing around like advertisers were hiding in the shadows flinging it at everyone who gets an audience
