Warpcast

right now, the largest accounts—those with 300k+ followers—receive roughly the same amount of likes as accounts with 50k followers; this is a problem 

if we continue to add bots at current pace, there will be accounts here with 1M+ followers receiving <50 likes per cast 

if this happens, it will most certainly be the death of the network as a “ghost town” narrative will form & ultimately takeover 

too many games & protocols have succumbed to the same future not to make this the #1 priority right now

so, fuck the dau figures; fuck the vanity following figures; we must kill the bots & cleanse the network 

imo, this becomes an existential risk if it’s not already

This narrative already exists. I’ve talked to teams building crypto products but not on FC and they said “we tried it for a bit but it’s all bots”

Not sure what the solution is tbh

The people I’m referring to were building more like defi stuff, not social products, and they were definitely not farcaster-native. I don’t think bot or not would work for that, and I don’t think that’s a reasonable thing to ask the next wave of devs + users to adopt

provocative opinion: more devs have complained about the prevalence of bots, than have tried to integrate the bot-or-not api

"devs do something!"

The best suggestion I have seen on this thread is onchain verification, and our project would like to add intense, inclusive offchain word of mouth messaging.
