This is not true. If you cast outside of a channel, it just goes to your followers. Casting in a channel gives it the potential to be seen by more people.

you’re missing the point I have the same feeling as @zkp casting with no channel feels like kind of a waste unless you’re an auto follow account when users are coming up with hacks like creating their own version of /no-channel there might be an opportunity

How do you determine if a cast is from a good user without a power badge vs. a spammy user without a power badge?

it's subjective, but quality of content is first thing I look for. Do they show some semblance of being human. One thing I'm cautious of is if I feel they appear spammy because they are non-native English speakers. In that case I look at their cast history. If it appears all of their casts are value extractive (fishing for like, follows, tips, airdrops, etc.), then I write them off as spammy. If casts are more sparse, and generally closer to sharing thoughts, observations and opinions, then I know they're human. There's a bit of a Turing test element to it.

I tend to look at follower count and follower / following ratio or if someone I know has vouched for them but I don’t think the issue is an algo issue I think there might be a missing primitive to make the blend of channels and feeds work more cohesively

Farcaster should avoid implementing power badge features that create class divisions. Most power badge holders rarely engage meaningfully with non-badge users. Additionally, the algorithm often flags profiles as spam if power users report them. Let's focus on true decentralization and equality, removing gimmicks that create superiority type divisions. #EqualPlatform #TrueDecentralization"

In my experience, it is difficult to technically distinguish between them. I have made a comprehensive judgment based on how long a person has been on a social account and what kind of posts they accumulate. It is not who they are followed by, but the person's creative and posting history itself that is important.
