“Farcaster must remove all the bots” 

This is a worrying line of thinking I’m seeing more often.

The argument goes that it’s not enough to hide uninteresting content. It *must* be removed from the protocol. 

That is, someone must judge the worthiness of accounts and delete them from the protocol.

right on. this is definitely a client level issue, and even a community level issue!

it's also tough for a client to handle a problem created by communities building low quality incentive mechanisms that makes it worthwhile for bad actors to build sophisticated bots/engagement farms that will spam timelines everywhere
