Curating /outcasters has become more challenging due to the increase in spam on Farcaster. So I have decided to run a new experiment:

Step 1: download list of all Power Badge users
Step 2: use list to filter top 1000 casts in last 7 days
Step 3: remove spammy users from list
Step 4: go back to step 1 and repeat weekly

I've just looked at the top 1000 casts based on most likes recieved since Sunday, April 21, and it turns out that @imthedude has casted 175 of them. That's 17.5% of the top-performing casts in the last three days. If this isn't spam, I don't know what is! But somehow, this person still has the power badge.

i’m the dude. i make art. i make memes. but, i don't make money. /actions /dude /designershumor /dankmemes /forecast /graphicdesign /getmotivated /newideasdaily

Agreed, the guy's basically buying engagement and then releases NFT and memecoin. Also randomly dropping tips to farmers that will dump their degen as soon as they can. Net negative for warpcast and the community as a whole imo
