Why don't you clean up "the bots"? Useful to be precise here: "bots" is a catch all term that people use to describe low effort, uninteresting or otherwise off-topic content. However, a "bot" is traditionally thought of as a programmatic account, i.e. controlled by a script or software. e.g. bot net When people on Farcaster refer to "bots" they are more often referring to actual people using a mobile device (with the aid of translation tools and ChatGPT) who post uninteresting content (from their pov). They are casting and replying in hopes of appearing to be a "real account" because they have learned that turns into a future economic reward in crypto. Recent tipping meta has increased the expected value of these accounts. It's possible to algorithmically label these accounts, but then you create a "shadowban" meta. So you massively increase the number of support messages and complaints. This was the state of the world before priority mode.

Further: 1. Meta estimates that 10% of users on their products are potentially bots. 300 million accounts. Says it's hard a problem to solve (even for them). 2. web2 social networks can delete accounts. Farcaster cannot. Warpcast can label as spam / reduce visibility.

Please forgive my rudeness in interrupting the conversation. However, you are the only person here who can properly accept my cast. Even in these serious discussions about the state of the farcaster, the casts of users like me, who do not have PB, are thoroughly ignored. I feel I am not treated as a person at WC. I have refrained from saying this until now, but I think the root of this problem is discrimination against nationality and race.
