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.

Shouldn't the user be getting nerfed on Warpcast though? What they are doing is not ambiguous

If the casts perform they perform I've literally never seen him in my feed tho so I'm fine over here and algo seems to be working in that regard

Performing as defined by legit accounts recasting/liking/replying is one thing When said engagement, however, is being driven by accounts engaging in coordinated inauthentic behavior (CIB), i.e. artificial amplification.. that’s something different I am not following @imthedude & regularly see it in Trending Casts

Even if Warpcast figures out a way to hide all the spam, I wont be celebrating if other clients can't give us a similar experience. The promise of Farcaster is that you can switch clients and barely notice the difference. We are not making good on this promise yet.

If we want devs to use the Power Badge for anything useful, we need to check the results first. I checked today and was not impressed. It's not just this user btw, there are many more. If we don't care to solve for spam, then the only feeds that are useful are ones u manually create which WC wont let u do atm
