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.

The problem that was never solved is that large accounts always dominate visibility regardless of the content. I am a new account and I could post the best content that ever existed, only it would never be seen because followers/engagement trumps actual merit. I think that if visibility metrics were less follower focused, you would not see as much of this "race" to gain as many followers/engagement.

about 1/3 of your top level posts are just pictures of pizzas. i don't think you're going to get a lot of engagement with that kind of stuff.

But thats where you are wrong, because that is where the bulk of my engagement comes from. Do I like it? No. But my point is I could drop a banger of a mini-app and it will get no visibility unless I use amps or have a big account friend. I've written more insightful content on blockchain in general... gets barely any attention.
