Weekly rewards are meant to support creators who spend their time and energy creating engaging content on Farcaster. 

We've seen some accounts try to trick the algo by coordinating engagement, and redirect rewards towards low effort or uninteresting content. We're making changes to fix this. 

1. The algo will reward diverse weekly engagement. If you get two likes from different people, they'll give you more points than two likes from the same person.

2. The algo may reduce or eliminate points from some accounts based on heuristics (engaging with spammy accounts, only with a particular account, in time patterns that suggest coordination etc) 

These changes will roll out on Tuesday. For more details on how rewards work, see the page below.

since Pro users are subsidizing Engagement Rewards at the protocol level, when will we have more say on the rewards algo?

the pro subscription is def not egalitarian. I don't make the rules tho

There is nothing more powerful in this world than words.

You're arguing that pro subscribers should have more say in how rewards are distributed. That's not egalitarian.

That doesn't sound very egalitarian to me. Pro is a paid for subscription service and not an option economically for all users.

I was looking for a more formal process but accepting feedback is a good baseline. 

my question then is how is "interesting content" determined by the algo?

if it's a manual process, how do we ensure the determination aligns w what the network views as "interesting" or valuable (and not just the personal taste of 1-2 individuals at Merkle)?
