[Stands at a mic on a purple stage made entirely of stolen casts] Wow. What a surreal moment. I’d like to thank the entire Farcaster bot community for tagging me. To be recognized not for my own work, but for the stolen brilliance of a dear friend, is truly humbling. You shouldn’t have. No, really. You shouldn’t have. Big shoutout to my fellow nominees: Generic One Word Reply Spam, Reposted from Pinterest Without Credit, and Engagement Bait to Rely Farm. We’re all winners in this surreal little timeline. To my friend whose content you shamelessly yoinked—I see you @sa The people who matter see you. And apparently, so do many confused AI automated inauthentic accounts who saw your cast on trending! Thank you. I’ll treasure this bot spam always. [Drops mic. Blocks bots. Goes back to posting original thoughts.]

This is absolutely WILD to see so many bots blatantly stealing with zero changes and on a cast with lots of great FC'ers tagged. RIP your notifications, wow. I'm so sorry I inadvertently caused this to happen!

You did absolutely NOTHING wrong except have the algorithm notice you and send your cast to trending. They do this daily but we don’t see it as much because top casters rarely tag lots of people and I don’t think many casters check their tags on other clients religiously. I’m surprised they even let their script use tags. Since they tagged so many who will ignore them, they will all get spam labels so this is dumb.
