er.com/YxBN.gifDid anyone else look at the lists they came up with and think, "Wow, these people are literally not here."

It’s always the same people
Yeah. I think they don't know enough about Nostr to know that it makes them look bad because they left off really popular Nostr-native accounts and didn't even notice.
LOL Oblivious.
Also included a lot of people who are well-known elsewhere, but don't really post anything here. So, like.... why? Bizarre. Might as well be bots.
Reminds me of this song. Those people are "Big in Twitter".
Their client team is already sus because of how they make it difficult to use your own zap account or read your own feed. And we haven't forgotten the trending list shenanigans.
Smells like Big Business, TBH.
They are aware and are currently building a new list of recommended profiles. Post your suggestions here:

Yeah, I know. Those are the lists I'm referring to.
I see. I'd rather have a manually curated list than an algo but I haven't looked at the contents yet. It requires constant maintainance to be kept up to date.
It would be better of we had a community team maintain those lists.
I was open to the curated list idea (didn't think it could be worse than their trending algo), even though it's static, until I noticed that the people creating and maintaining the list don't really read here, or are off in some corporate bubble from X.
This is just going to make Nostr seem even more boring than new arrivals already think it is.
And why don't they hook up with the wine team, to make something cool and dynamic, based on topic heat maps, or something?
