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.

Reward cheating, airdrop farming and algorithm gaming are crucial problems to be detected and mitigated for the long-term sustainability of incentive mechanisms in social platform.
