my best guess is less degen farming because allowances changed

At the end of May, we adjusted Degen allowances, removing any incentive for farmers to post.

maybe you are right but always easier looking back on it

that graph shows you how much and for how long degen allowances were sybil vulnerable and leading to spam on the network. shocked it took that long to change

right, that probably confirms it, great job!

Such a great change. 

I probably would have opted out of the tipping game if not.

i get a lot more bot replies compared to a few months ago, but my guess is less degen farming because allowances changed

my hunch is previously there were clusters of activity separated from the actual qdaus, because it didn't matter who engaged.

the rules changed and now they have to beg for qdau attention.

Degen algo changes is the biggest factor imho

People are not engagement farming anymore (also less bots reacting etc)

DAUs still love farcaster and believe in degen

The shift from quantity to quality has happened

Farming tips and guns and that kinda low value low effort behaviour has been disincentivised recently with the DEGEN algo changes, as others have mentioned. I suspect this is the main factor.

I think Ham also had a good bit to do with it. The season 1 claim was disappointing for many, and there has been a decent hiatus till season 2 so all the cannons and guns have stopped. 

But today is the first day of season 2 and I expect to see a ton of farming again.

Product

every day I open the /product channel and the content is 4 days old. I tried to cast several time non crypto product related stuff and never get traction

what /product followers are expecting to see/chat about here? if it is not about product, do we need a real new channel to talk about product/how to build better products/good practices etc?

reaction to cast ratio has been subpar since the priority mode activated on channels

good things take time—frictionless experiences—product × strat × ops

don't think that would have as big of an impact

The change was right around the end of month. So most likely degen meta change.

Just a hunch but would think it has something to do how degen changed. What is your take?

maybe less farming/bots. more genuine engagement that keeps people here.

Sheeeesh cmon big money big money big money 💰!

It's pretty clear to me now after looking at the replies.. 🫡

At one point man, just farming is boring and not that big of a value(at least in my perspective). But fun casts are there too might get stable after a while

It’s no longer profitable to push for massive engagement numbers to gain rank.

In addition to farming, maybe some user fatigue, and perhaps reduced participation with crypto markets on the downswing.

Cast, reaction, and link volumes dropped significantly 😕

degen allowance change indeed

The timing was when the DEGEN allowance rules changed.
Maybe it’s because farming was restricted.

It could also be due to a change in the feed algorithm, but I don’t see farming casts anymore.
