Please start a thread and list the authentic newcomers with little followers so I may follow them. Thanks
Welcome to my Public Service Announcement hellthread!

A lot of people I follow have fallen for these tactics unfortunately
Unless people are more discerning in who they follow WoT will be useless, and Nostr will be overrun with bots and scams. I see lots of authentic new users with little to no follows and no engagement, while crap like this is followed by accounts with big influence who have been here for a long time.

i wish i had a radio show. i only have cows, bisons, wapiti, wolves & hopefully hungry bears content.
thanks, ryan <3
I have a cat that eats birds and mice that it catches
haha who can resist feral cat content??
That's why I love cats, even though I'm a dog person. They are still predators. I miss the farm cats growing up. Pure savages 😸
It's not all it's cracked up to be.
Ty for the mention. It's nice to be on this side of the discussion. On a side note, nostr:nprofile1qqstplwhywdjuzvn7d7zcgcdu8f8eck0nlq594pa9v5wfau2qmc0l4qpzemhxue69uhkummnw3ezucmjduh8xmmrd9skcqgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46qz9nhwden5te0d9hxymmc9ehx7um5wgh8w6twv52uxesl did reply to my request for railroad-themed music last week. I even called out their profile on the air, thanking them for the suggestion.
This week I'll look at everyone's profile before promoting their scammy shit in my program.
