Your Farcaster Casts are your CV (a 🧵) When I get a notification that someone commented on my post and I don’t recognize the name/pfp, the first thing I do is scroll their profile. I make a judgement in about 15 seconds and try to determine if I think you are an authentic account or a spammer/scammer/farmer. Here are the things I look for: 1. Are you posting original content? 2. Is your profile mostly recasts and frames? 3. If you are casting to big channels (cough /itookaphoto /nature) do the photos look like you took them or are they stolen from Pinterest? 4. Are you casting to channels that generate a lot of spam? (I’m not going to throw shade at the channels in public)

If I can’t easily tell that you are an authentic account, I hesitate to interact. Our follows empower scammers. I don’t care do much that I accidentally follow a spammy account, but I do care if I follow an account that’s being set up to scam people. They tend to have a pattern and an MO for how they cast. It’s subtle but they tend to casts in popular channels with stolen content. I don’t know their end game, but I assume they interact with me hoping I will interact back and maybe follow to boost their credibility.

1. Are you posting original content? You have to post mostly original content here to be taken seriously. This is a social network. People want to be social and comment on interesting things. There are thousands and thousands of channels. You should be able to find places to post niche content that is unique and fun. Most people drink /coffee Everyone should have a photo of /nature on their phone Everyone takes photos /itookaphoto Everyone eats /food Use @buoy to search keywords for topics you like. Find the channels that fit your vibe. Post original content.

How do you recognize the stolen pictures? I was thinking about it these days. There are many pictures that you can’t tell if they were made by people who casted them or not.
