Some people are grinding Yaps all day and still wondering:

“Why am I not showing up in the Loud top 1000?”

Let’s clear this up. Because Yaps ≠ Mindshare and mixing them up will confuse you every season.

1/ Yaps = Activity points

You earn Yaps by:

- Posting

- Replying

- Getting engagement (likes, replies, reposts)

- Getting seen by Smart Followers

You get Yaps for volume and quality, but it’s mostly about your activity and participation.

2/ Mindshare = Influence score

Mindshare is about who’s paying attention to you, not just how loud you are.

It grows when:

- Smart Followers follow or engage with you

- Your posts actually shape convos in a topic

- You’re seen as a real voice not just farming

Mindshare decays slowly, but it also doesn't spike overnight like Yaps. It's about long-term signal, not short-term noise.

🔄 TLDR:

You can farm Yaps and still have low Mindshare.

You can post less and still have high Mindshare.

For example:

@waleswoosh ranks #17 in Mindshare (12M), but only #13 in Yaps.

@0x_ultra is #64 in Mindshare (12M), but #26 in Yaps.

Activity ≠ Authority.

If you're just chasing Yaps, you're missing the bigger picture.

Hope this clears things up. Let’s build smarter, not just louder
