Design

what if bots on farcaster are a feature and not a bug? in fortnite, they fill lobbies with some bots instead of real players so that even new players get the satisfaction of beating someone. this increases playtime and retention of players and could work the same way for farcaster users, it’s all game design.

Maybe if you’re new to social media as a concept and need an ego boost. And unlike in video games, there’s no lobby in social where seasoned players can avoid the bots. And argue that for the majority of people on FC, we don’t benefit from whatever role bots play in the feed.

everyone is a status seeking monkey and wants an ego boost

i agree that it’s not a good ux for experienced players

Is it an ego boost if the only ones giving you love aren’t real? Giving fake love? How long does the ego boost at a strip club last?

it works better then getting killed instantly by experienced players on fortnite

in terms of social, more likes from bots can translate into wider distribution of your cast, leading to more 'real love'
