Real question: How is this account with spam content and no engagement, currently #1 on the leaderboard? Why is Warpcast allowing people to game the rewards while so many genuine content creators are here?

I was literally thinking the same… how is it even possible? they just spam every channel with stolen photos and memes and have no engagement whatsoever, why rewarding someone like that with the highest rewards?? This literally encourages people to create spam accounts because clearly there is a way to game it and earn the most points.

I’ve seen so many spammers moving up quickly while older accounts are barely making it to the top 500, and here’s my theory. You guys have something in the leaderboard algorithm that gives newer FIDs a huge boost for frequent casting, even if they don’t receive any engagement at all. That’s exactly why we’ve seen those success stories where people say they invited someone to join Farcaster a week ago, and suddenly, they’re in the top 10.

In theory, it’s good because it helps diversify the top of the leaderboard so it’s not just the same 10 influencers every week. But now, people know this and are creating alts and spam accounts to farm $.

u think they were aware of it and just letting it be? 
or u think they weren't aware? 
either answer is fascinating in its own way, but i have no idea
