The signals that tend to do very well fall into one of three categories: 

1. Graph based -- spammers often share similar patterns of activity which can be used to catch them 

2. Behaviors - they also tend to do things a certain way, because they're being repetitive in their actions (e.g. posting at fixed internals) 

3. Textual - the content of their casts is often very predictive of their quality

excellent thread from @v summarizing the spam problem, what they've learned, and the path ahead.

if you're worried you've been unfairly labeled as "a spammer" read this thread.

Their system is more thoughtful than you might assume and learns quickly.

Authenticity is the goal ✨

Thanks for sharing, missed the original cast. I’m surprised by the screen res angle. Never would have thought of this one.

I once noticed something like this with crawler bots on website analytics. But never stood still at it’s implications.

Exactly. A competent SEO will know how to cull bots from their traffic profile, and browser configs reveal a lot about the agent.

Never really went into SEO that much myself. I do UX and SEO is for the next guy haha

It’s a forever cat and mouse. Everyone learns and adapts. And so do the bots.

There are these images and video’s of botfarms using stacks and stacks of android phones in old crypto miner pc’s. Probably to ‘avoid’ being detected because the devices are all unique.

all good. my point is there are many people familiar with the "dark forests" of the internet and spam isn't a new problem. many wizards with many magics.
