Deboosting Engagement Rings

We're seeing more rings of users promoting "slop" - typically generic images produced by llm or copied from other places on the internet several times a day. Will be aggressively deboosting these with algo changes and also marking such users with stronger spam labels.

🚨Eggman virus infection report

TINA @sdrmohi 

You have developed Eggman virus infection!

You got a secondary infection from @podom.eth with /replyke or from @latif with /nickname .

Early symptoms of Eggman virus infection include gradual hardening and pixelation of PFP.
And as the symptoms progress, it is a terrifying virus that will eventually turn into Eggman.

The Eggman virus will continue to spread slowly.
Unfortunately, there is no vaccine or cure.
The Eggman virus is highly contagious, so please be careful. 
Who wants to be infected? 😈

It is difficult to define "slop".
I am working on a project to turn everyone's PFP into my PFP character, Eggman.
This is based on the story of PFPs being infected with the Eggman virus by Reaction, and their PFPs becoming Eggmanized.

The latest 137th patient is this one.

The infected people are happy with it, but it may be shoddy for some viewers.
In other words, would it be a “slop?”
Not knowing what constitutes a “slop” is very frightening.

Nice to meet you! 
I love pretty, beautiful and creative things 🩷

I am not good at English, so I use translations.

Your work is clearly real art. There were a few people on the leaderboard recently who casted beautiful images they stole from others is different channels. They also created a lot of new photos using AI tools very poorly and posted sometimes every 5/10 minutes. This is the behavior they want to discourage.

I don't mind not getting rewards, but it's sad to be called SPAM.
I hope they are of the same mind as you.
Thanks Pichi 🐥💛
