What makes an account "inauthentic"? 

We're considering a new labelling system for inauthentic accounts. These accounts, often incorrectly called bots, will be hidden from like counts and other metrics in Warpcast. 

Inauthentic accounts give real people the ick because they're clearly trying to get value for their account at the expense of everyone else on the network.

inasmuch as i am very glad farcaster has noticed the spam problem, we also need to acknowledge the fact that a whole lot of accounts (not bot) have been mislabelled and are already not included in farcaster metrics, which is not supposed to be. and it sucks that no matter the number of verifications you have, it just doesnt save you. this makes me ask the question "WHY ARE VERIFICATION METHODS THERE WHEN THEY DO NOT PROTECT ME FROM BEING MISLABELLED AS A SPAMMER?"

the pre-rich internet cat you heard about on the other app. out here vibing

why introduce the verification feature when it does literally nothing? 
why are newer accounts at greater risk of being labelled spam for just replying under peoples posts on their feed?
how can the algorithm be better  for the average farcaster new user such that they will always want to use the app?
until the above 3 questions are answered, and necessary improvements made, there is no way a lot of new users will flock in.

while fighting inauthenticity, we should ask ourselves if we have the necessary facilities in place for "authentic" accounts. 
engagement is the main reason why lots of users dont come back here (from complaints i have seen on twitter).
