I am pausing my activity on Warpcast for the foreseeable future due to the current issue with large number of bots.

Recent posts over the past few months have received hundreds of likes and recasts coming mostly from bots.

We did a deep dive into this today. Main takeaways:

1. The "bots" are humans and we catch a lot of them. 

2. They target famous accounts like @zachxbt a lot more often. 

3. They're evolving to only like/recast spamming

The problem doesn't seem to improve however the diagnosis, and it's annoying to those mislabeled by the treatment.
Maybe a different approach is needed.
Perhaps self or verified, specific category badges(builder; artist; degen) with an algorithm that filters out spammers with a scalpel. 
An artist posting images or frames(art relevant) that is labeled "probably spammer" by a general algo, may be considered safe by an Artist-Badged algo.
my suggestion; if you even see it
