WoT relays work because not everyone uses them uniformly.

Suppose of the 1500 people I follow, only 1 of them use public relays and follow new users.

That automatically means the entire network of 50,000 (my 1500 follows + their follows) can now see these new users with just 1 follow.

Then multiply that by using 10 WoT relays, you will find plenty of people adding new people to the WoT organically

Yes. But this is what we call β€œthe happy path”.

The question I have is how do you get most relays to be WoT relays?

Isn't the magical number 3 different people? I only have like 20 followers and have no idea if you or any of the cool cats running WoT relays can see my notes (I may just be replying into the void here). For instance, are folks at wss://wot.utxo.one currently getting my notes? I don't know. It would be much better if users could at least know if they are part of someone's WoT.
