yall, are we really gonna pretend that some of these accounts getting $25-100 per week aren't completely fake? seems obvious

The quote out there claiming Farcaster only has 37 users may be a bit extreme but there's certainly not tens of thousands of users here - the follower counts some accounts have that are used as indicators of value are dubious at best and suffocating to new, real users at worst.

There are a huge number of bot/sybil/extreme low quality accounts on here. The spam scores etc are a decent start but there needs to be better ways of surfacing "real" accounts as time goes on.
