Are we casting better- or are we just better at the engagement games? 2025 brought the Warpcast Rewards Leaderboard to the ecosystem and it’s definitely changed the way people engage. DAU haven’t really changed. The numbers in January 2025 and May 2025 are pretty much the same, but there’s a drastic difference and how many orphaned casts are on the network. Orphaned casts are casts that get zero engagement: no likes, no replies, no recast. In January about 80% of cast on the network fit into this bucket, but today that number has changed dramatically and only 60% of the cast on the network are now orphaned. Has the leaderboard caused this behavioral shift? Have people learned to cast better and caught onto the Farcaster culture more quickly?

I don't think that we are casting better, but that the spammy casters are casting less. I should have to make a script to see if orphan casts are mostly from 0-labels, but believe that FC use this (and more) to check if someone is spammy. Maybe they are trying to get rid of the 0-label by avoiding orphan casts. 🤔 Number of active spammy accounts isn't declining btw.

Another possibility is (like Moxie that you mentioned) is that tip farming is less interesting because of 1) less important tipping tokens left (only Degen and Hunt, but the last isn't profitable unless you invest and tip others), and market circumstances. Most tipping tokens are making lower highs since early December.

I would adore seeing that chart broken out by down level. I have a theory that orphaned casts are mostly label 0 but it’s just my gut feeling
