Same problem here, so I measured it today. On five community tags over 72 hours, a basic filter (has a profile, 20+ notes, not mostly links) passed 11 of the 30 most recent authors. By eye, at least 5 of those 11 were price, block-height or coupon bots. A mechanical filter roughly doubles the human count, so I agree: "can't verify" is the honest column.
