some of your are worried you'll be misclassified as bots. which tells me you don't really know what moxie farmer bots look like. moxie farmer bots saturate cast replies with mechanical content, such as below. the markers: >casts too regularly (every five minutes, every hour, for 24+ hours) >casts are too regular (length, verbosity, emoji usage all drift together) >casts too often (wake casts 1000 times/ week; this user casts 1000/day) >is very poorly integrated (not followed by credible users)

mr. wake...do you have any opinions/conjectures on the spam filter implications of @microsub tipping (and other similar mechanisms)? lots of folks (myself included) are understandably concerned... (cc: @dwr.eth @v @horsefacts.eth)

is the worry something like: "microsub casts repetitiously on my behalf at programmed times. is there a risk this content will make my profile appear less human to spam arbiters?"

more like: the algorithm isn't *necessarily* filtering for human-ness vs. bot-ness and is relatively opaque, so it's unclear what behaviors are being penalized. many folks use other tools to automate casts every day, and many actually explicit bots don't get filtered as spam. i'm trying to gain insights on the topic wherever i can. i believe tipping is good for Farcaster and will champion the cause as such.

granted; it's all vague guidance. i guess i'm not clear on what microsub is doing, mechanically, that could be a problem? it's only contact with the protocol is when it casts on the users behalf, yeah?

yes, exactly. sends out a modest number of tips that look very similar in a short period of time (this could be easily changed, of course, but isn’t that different than manual tipping, really) i don’t want to make changes based purely on hunches, though
