I am pausing my activity on Warpcast for the foreseeable future due to the current issue with large number of bots.

Recent posts over the past few months have received hundreds of likes and recasts coming mostly from bots.

Sad to hear that, I’ve always enjoyed your posts. 

There are a lot of bots that keep trying to get into Farcaster because of potential airdrops. All of them pay money to sign up. 

Bots can earn hundreds of dollars of tokens, so they have a lot of incentive to come here, much more than Twitter. 

We’ve spent a lot of time fighting bots and developing machine learning algorithms to flag spam. It’s not perfect but we will keep improving it.

It does seem like his casts are getting botted in a greater way than some of the most followed casters on here. I wonder if there's a specific bot cluster that's somehow evading the Warpcast filtering logic that primarily follows/engages with him.

yes, bots tend to engage with well known accounts a lot more to bait them to follow back.
