Let's put some more pressure to Typefully! 44 votes only? Come on!!!

https://typefully.canny.io/feature-requests/p/publish-to-farcaster

This cast had 32 likes, but resulted in a single new upvote for the feature request (and all this needed was login with google/twitter/github).

Which leads me to believe that most of these likes are bots or users trying to farm followers. Not a good sign.

I hope this isn’t surprising. Spam has been an issue for months. It says I have 32.3k followers but when I cast, if you look at the reactions + replies that I get, it’s clear that we have a big problem. How many of the total 300k FC users are here to contribute in a meaningful way?

It makes sense that most users will be lurkers, as we can see that 40% of users have 0 casts, but even if we ignored all of them, the spam issue is still very real. Growth is good, but if I was an investor/dev looking at FC, id want to see quality more than numbers go up.

You have to take into account the 1:10:100 rule (1 writes, 10 comment, 100 read). I had friends who would tell me they have a twitter account to read, but never tweeted.
But you're right, we do have a problem.
