Thanks, I appreciate the detailed reply. 🫔

> ā€œpaid engagementā€ posts a place to live SEPARATE FROM the Trending feeds

Sounds nice in theory, but the whole point of these engagement hacks is to show up in the main trending feed. They don't want a separate feed. They'll keep hacking until they make it to the main trending feed.

So my question still stands: how exactly do we identify good quality content? Our best approach so far is to measure engagement by real users (non-bots). I don't expect you to solve this for us, but ideas are welcome.

> label to bot posts or posts engaging in ā€œpaid engagementā€

Good idea, if we can reliably identify paid engagement.

> give us a way to filter content out of our feeds

Yes, we are getting ready to deploy a feature to help with this.

Thanks again, keep the feedback coming!

Yea I was trying to give Buzzbot a little benefit of the doubt, but it absolutely is geared to hack the trending algos. The tweak you published today that mutes it based on user choice is great for making the trending feeds less noisy for those of us who want. Good move in my opinion. 🫔
