Mine is that perhaps using a popularity metric such as "unique likers" on a platform where people often read but don't necessarily "like" what has been posted is not going to show how much value there is. bsky.jazco.dev/stats

graph of Total Likes, Total Posts, and Total Follows on Bluesky over the past year. Big peak around the US election, smaller around Trump inauguration. Mostly consistent levels for the past 4 months

That's a good point, b/c Likes are a much more powerful factor on Twitter compared to Bluesky, and there's a much larger incentive for artificial/bot Likes Not many people here seem to use the algorithm feed (and I'm not really sure how the Discover algo prioritizes Likes)
