Mindshare FARMERS on Kaito Moo Leaderboard❗️
There is currently a huge problem with the Eclipse Moo Leaderboard. It used to be filled with eCommunity and eKOLs that we all knew 💚
Now, it is slowly becoming corrupt with "engagement farmers" taking away spots on the leaderboard from those who deserve it 🙁
I'm not the only one who has noticed this, other community members have raised concerns as well. As a result, I have done some research and here are my findings 👇
1⃣These "engagement farmers" post very simple, AI-like posts. A key example is the #1 person on the 30D Moo leaderboard
@Oleribeweb30.
Example:
nitter.app/Oleribeweb30/status/19…
- In this tweet, Oleribe writes a simple bullpost about Eclipse, something you will see across all of his tweets
2⃣ Despite the basic post, they get an insane comment/views ratio. The accounts commenting are rarely community members, no, they are big follower accounts that comment bot-like responses.
- Back to the example, he may not get a lot of views, but his engagement ratio of likes/comments to views is insane(20%). Accounts with multiple thousands of followers engaged this tweet with bot-like responses.
3⃣ MOST of them rinse and repeat these engagement tweets with other projects on Kaito. A few are smart and only do it with one project, in this instance Eclipse.
- Oleribe, for example, is engagement farming with the same basic tweets for projects like
@Polkadot,
@monad_xyz,
@union_build, etc.
- Literally scroll through his X page.
4⃣The same big follower accounts keep reply-guying and boosting engagement for these accounts.
- Take a look at some of Oleribe's other tweets and comments. The same big people are commenting boosting "mindshare" on Kaito.
5⃣ They have almost 0 engagement with community on discord.
- Oleribe has less than 100 messages in the Eclipse discord with half of those messages being promotions of his own farming tweets.
My Thoughts:
These guys are literally building a monopoly of "mindshare" on Kaito leaderboards when they barely know anything about the project. I mean
@Oleribeweb30 keeps begging for the OG role on Eclipse with his argument being he is #1 on Kaito. If he did a little research, he would know that is not how the OG role is given out.
This is likely a private group(s) where people farm the
@KaitoAI leaderboard in order to reap the rewards from a potential airdrop if said project decided to drop an allocation to people on the Kaito leaderboard.
I think I can speak for a big group of people when I say this isn't fair. Farmers are being recognized for farming while the core community, who is actually providing MEANINGFUL value, is being left out.
What can we do?
First off, unfollow these guys, I found it sad to see a bunch of my fellow eCommunity members following Oleribe and I expect that people follow the other farmers as well.
Second,
@KaitoAI @0xfs7, there has to be a solution to this problem. Projects should be discouraged to allocate an allocation of their token to their respective Kaito leaderboard because it is overrun with farmers instead of actual community/true supporters.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this???
