The signals that tend to do very well fall into one of three categories: 

1. Graph based -- spammers often share similar patterns of activity which can be used to catch them 

2. Behaviors - they also tend to do things a certain way, because they're being repetitive in their actions (e.g. posting at fixed internals) 

3. Textual - the content of their casts is often very predictive of their quality

excellent thread from @v summarizing the spam problem, what they've learned, and the path ahead.

Their system is more thoughtful than you might assume and learns quickly.

Authenticity is the goal ✨
