There's a real problem with account quality in crypto communities these days. The noise-to-signal ratio has gotten ridiculous—so much so that filtering out low-value accounts became necessary just to have a decent feed.

Think about it: bots, ghost followers, one-liner shills, and dead accounts cluttering the conversation. If you got pruned during what I'd call The Great Lightspeed Purge, odds are your engagement doesn't move the needle.

But here's the thing—if you're still here, still contributing real thoughts, still building something? That's worth something. The community's getting leaner, but the signal is getting clearer.
