Weekly rewards are meant to support creators who spend their time and energy creating engaging content on Farcaster. 

We've seen some accounts try to trick the algo by coordinating engagement, and redirect rewards towards low effort or uninteresting content. We're making changes to fix this. 

1. The algo will reward diverse weekly engagement. If you get two likes from different people, they'll give you more points than two likes from the same person.

2. The algo may reduce or eliminate points from some accounts based on heuristics (engaging with spammy accounts, only with a particular account, in time patterns that suggest coordination etc) 

These changes will roll out on Tuesday. For more details on how rewards work, see the page below.

These changes seem like an interesting step to improve the dynamics, but I have a question about the expected results. If the goal is to foster diversity in interaction, how does this address the current limitations of the system?

1.	 Limited visibility: The algorithm tends to prioritize showing content from accounts with which we already interact, which makes it difficult to obtain "likes" from different people.

2.	 Monopolized trending: The same accounts usually appear in the "trending" feed, which reduces the chances for other creators to be discovered.

3.	 Interaction with larger accounts: When we try to interact with larger accounts, it is uncommon to receive a response. This discourages interaction and can affect our reputation if those interactions are not reciprocated, leading us to be categorized as "spam".

Will there be additional adjustments to address these barriers, such as improving the distribution of content in the feed or promoting interaction between accounts of different levels of reach? Without solving this, it could be complicated for the proposed improvements to actually encourage diversity and participation
