We all knew the Rewards Leaderboard would drive behavior changes. It’s nice to see the data support that theory. 

I think this means it’s a good time to be a genuine and authentic reply guy. When engagement on most posts goes down, good comments will shine through the noise.

I think that it is more complex under the surface.
Yes, rewards seems to have effect on the mix of casting, replying and liking (I will shorten this to CRL), but mainly for casters with spam label 0.
Besides that, there's also an extra effect: after the huge increase in ETH-price appreciation, namely from 11 May. This also changes the CRL-mix of spam label 0.
Before general available rewards, the CRL-mix was more stable for spam label 0.

The CRL-mix of spam label 2 is still stable, and changes gradual overtime (if you look very well).

Only after the ETH-price appreciation, the amount of engagement changes, both spam label 0 and 2. This result in relative higher percentage of label 0 cast, and a relative higher percentage of label 2 replies.

So, both Rewards as market circumstances change casting behaviour, but spam label 0 is more opportunistic.

Yes, there is also some movement spam label 2 behaviour, but it changes very slowly

Always interesting insights for us building mini apps! 
I think Rewards and Tipping are shaping user behaviour here (on top of general market sentiment), particularly spam label 0 users
