Curating /outcasters has become more challenging due to the increase in spam on Farcaster. So I have decided to run a new experiment:

Step 1: download list of all Power Badge users
Step 2: use list to filter top 1000 casts in last 7 days
Step 3: remove spammy users from list
Step 4: go back to step 1 and repeat weekly

I've just looked at the top 1000 casts based on most likes recieved since Sunday, April 21, and it turns out that @imthedude has casted 175 of them. That's 17.5% of the top-performing casts in the last three days. If this isn't spam, I don't know what is! But somehow, this person still has the power badge.

i’m the dude. i make art. i make memes. but, i don't make money. /actions /dude /designershumor /dankmemes /forecast /graphicdesign /getmotivated /newideasdaily

If the casts perform they perform

I've literally never seen him in my feed tho so I'm fine over here and algo seems to be working in that regard

Shouldn't the user be getting nerfed on Warpcast though? What they are doing is not ambiguous
