Spam Labels have been public for a month and we've seen significant updates to the number of casters with Level 2 Labels (the good one) and the consequences of the Level 0 Label (the worst one) via the Great Follower Purge of February 2025. 

With a resurgence of bot-like accounts this weekend, the algorithm will only get more aggressive. 

I've made significant revisions on this article as the team has given us more clarity around the algorithm as well as included resources on how to save your friends from spam jail and a thread on the teams thinking about spam. 

Please remember this is guidance, not gospel. The algo is secret.  Always appreciate any feedback or areas I can clarify.

The Public Spam Labels should be updated tonight. If the current data says you have a label, do not lose hope.

The labels are updated daily but we only see the update publicly once a week. You may have been upgraded already. Want to test?

Reply to this cast and I will reply back if I got the notification. If I get the notification, I would bet money that your label is updated and we will see that reflected by Friday AM!

I’m still not removed, but I can see that many others have been cleared this week!🫡

Question. Did you do an analysis on the leaderboard again? Did anyone with a level 1 label make it?

I initially analyzed the leaderboard and found one person with a spam label of 1, but I later confirmed that their label had changed to 2. This suggests that the leaderboard is aggregated using the latest spam label values.

Additionally, as of yesterday, I analyzed the leaderboard and found that 30 people were listed with a spam label of 1 (based on the data from 02/20). These users were likely cleared of the spam label during the period. I plan to verify this with today's label update.

This is super insightful! Can’t wait to read about your findings.
