So you’re saying it should be per piece of content? That’s a lot of upkeep.

I’m already worried that specifying your own trust score might be destined to fail
Every user exists on a spectrum of engagement & activity. So any WoT will need user input, and I think profile level labels might be too broad, but really, most users won't engage at all.
Unless... "trust engagement" is made a first class citizen of consuming a post. Posts are immutable, but people change all the time, so the trust should be tagged to posts to be most effective.
Naively, a swipe left/right feed could maybe generate some good insights, as users are forced to make a binary choice at every post 🤷♂️
I think what you’re leaning towards is dynamic trust scores based on content not user. But, this just ultimately boils down to a user score. If people like your content and don’t forget to label it, it would just add to your credibility or subtract from it.
A content score doesn't "boil down" by itself to a user score. Users or clients who want a simpler WoT can boil it down and lose some precision in their modeling, but settling for less granularity across the board seems retarded in the literal sense
