I was a top 20 Warpcast rewards winner with the old version. With this new version I find myself outside the earning circle. I wonder if there were changes to the scoring or if it’s just because I’ve been a little less terminally on farcaster lately. Likely a combination of both I reckon.

I am talking about rewards algo. You seem to be talking about feed algo. I believe the feed algo was explicitly changed around that time to remove obvious bots from the count, which had previously been inflating the numbers. But I could be wrong. Regardless, separate subject I think

From Aug 2023 until early summer 2024, I was once every 5 to 7 casts, getting 30 to 50 engagements, at a time where there was much fewer bots.
Since then, my cast activity has been deeply buried with a cap under 10 engagements per cast.
Can't be explained only by my cast activity. The algo has changed.

i believe people are actively going for the rewards now

I was top 100 the first week and then this week I had about the same engagement and am nowhere near the top 400 lol
