Why don't you clean up "the bots"?

Useful to be precise here: "bots" is a catch all term that people use to describe low effort, uninteresting or otherwise off-topic content.

However, a "bot" is traditionally thought of as a programmatic account, i.e. controlled by a script or software. e.g. bot net

When people on Farcaster refer to "bots" they are more often referring to actual people using a mobile device (with the aid of translation tools and ChatGPT) who post uninteresting content (from their pov).

They are casting and replying in hopes of appearing to be a "real account" because they have learned that turns into a future economic reward in crypto. Recent tipping meta has increased the expected value of these accounts.

It's possible to algorithmically label these accounts, but then you create a "shadowban" meta. So you massively increase the number of support messages and complaints. This was the state of the world before priority mode.

Exactly, and this one is pretty noticeable (super noisy seeing this everywhere outside priority mode 😒)
