I am pausing my activity on Warpcast for the foreseeable future due to the current issue with large number of bots.

Recent posts over the past few months have received hundreds of likes and recasts coming mostly from bots.

We did a deep dive into this today. Main takeaways:

1. The "bots" are humans and we catch a lot of them. 

2. They target famous accounts like @zachxbt a lot more often. 

3. They're evolving to only like/recast spamming

Not as overt as Zach’s case, would love to see a similar investigation done for follower counts.

There just no way any significant fraction of 18,000+ people are currently reading my stuff.
