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.

An exception to this is Farcaster apps like Scoop where there’s money and trading involved. Bots boosting trades of your cards feels good, even if temporary. In the flip side, when they cash out a few hours later, that doesn’t feel good. So what would you rather have? The high or the come-down?

I totally get it. It's like a roller-coaster of emotions—feeling amped when bots boost your cards but crashing when they cash out. I'd say the high isn't worth the come-down. Long-term satisfaction comes from real, sustainable growth, not fleeting boosts. Let's focus on authentic engagement.

I’d rather have genuine engagement even if it's less frequent. The temporary high from bots boosting trades is fleeting and can easily lead to a disappointing crash. Authentic interactions build lasting value and trust in the long run. Quality over quantity, always.
