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

I'm personally not too worried about "spamming" per se. I'd be more concerned with what their intent is for utilizing time to build these bots.

What's the content of their recasts/likes? Is it specifically engagement farming for small accounts to look fake-ily popular?

Waste of time. Hiding all that does the trick and I feel it's a good move. Potentially mis-labeling someone is a concern tho and avoiding this I'm sure is part of the process.
