its a trap. bro. most of you mean well but its the setup. easiest systems to hack are based on trust. an inner circle is easy enough to achieve without the need of social scoring. we used to get upset when men called women a 6 or an 8, because it was dehumanizing and an act of objectification but then we cite danger to the same women as a reason to put a number on everyone.

the flaw at the core is that it is almost always someone in your inner circle who will betray you the most deeply. On the flip side it means that the the clear path to influence becomes ingratiation. the latter aspect makes it more and more difficult to trust and so the circle shrinks, regardless of the numbers.

Easier to not trust anyone or anything on the internet. Verify everything. Every Idea. Every Avatar, Since you cant verify everything you get to put faith only in proveable stuff and proven methods.
