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. https://farcasterhq.notion.site/Farcaster-Creator-Rewards-1f56a6c0c101808f9225c5705ae88fcc

reasoning for change makes sense. one thing to note is if the incentive is to create content that elicits reaction from a broader circle of people instead of writing bangers for the same target audience, it incentivizes sensationalism i.e. things that will go viral and reach a mass audience because majority of people will find a connection to it and engage with it. this is why there was a time where fb newsfeed was just breaking news stories. y'all might already be anticipating it, just throwing out there

Hey @v there's a guy stealing my content and trying to take my rewards, can you look into it, I think he's trying to trick the algo: His post where he took my remix (from 22hr before) and got 20x the engagement https://farcaster.xyz/barmstrong/0x835db84e My post: https://farcaster.xyz/qt/0x643d10c7 Appreciate you looking into this 👑

Interesting change, so our biggest fans and friends out here won’t give us much points anymore 🤔 And the only way to reach new people is to get into trending algo?

I do hope this helps with the same groups getting rewards while we all are working and building on this app constantly creating tho it has been really disharenting as of late and I keep getting the shadowbanned vibes.

If I see that an account is considered spam, but I can also see that it's just an algorithm problem and not the user - are there consequences for me from communicating with him/her? It's not a question about rewards it's more about support. I don't care about my place on the leaderboard but I want to help them.

So it’s not bad to engage accounts labeled as spam ? Isn’t the support or engagement supposed to help them leave spam ?

Thank you so much V, this makes a lot of sense Though, this past two weeks, my score has not been correctly adding up and I just feel maybe my account and some other accounts can be checked. Just this week, I was a topic on /⁠farville because of a rivalry cast, but it didn’t reflect, I just want my account checked, because using this README to cross check, my account should be doing better than a lot of accounts in the top 100. And this is not just me.
