What if we replaced follower counts with some other addictive metric in Nostr clients -- but one that was specific to Nostr and could actually work reliably and not be gamed?

(No, I am not talking about zaps, these can also be gamed, and this is not a trivia question, I don't have any answers.)

This is how I am for distinguishing web of (minimal) trust from Reputation:

- Web of trust is the basic filter that can tap into multiple sources of trust (e.g. social follows, some sort of bootstrap list, nip51 lists, nip29 member lists) and sources are CONFIGURABLE by the user, with sane defaults.

- Reputation gives meaning to this by scoring people based on reviews and other possible metrics. Reviews are filtered through WoT and can be used to help the user make important decisions e.g. in SatShoot to select the right counterparty for a freelance deal.

The key is to understand your users' needs and use the types of events and UX that will help in whatever problem your app solves.

Generic, globalist views of this matter lead nowhere.
