WoT is broken has been always will be

we have spambots like nostr:npub10u8xfdfw7447c26c34rql333yh6k0kevq9x3an8gqmvdtdpqnchqpmz5qy that have high WoT scores, and AI slop makes people easy to manipulate

report-based systems can and are being exploited because people can’t agree to disagree

That npub is 0 for me 🤓 Blocked.

the problem is anyone can turn up such a AIslop account, make it like posts/follow en masse, get followers and then reuse it for spam. rinse and repeat

GrapeRank is t just based off of likes and follows though. And it's configurable for each user. It's spam resistant because of its configurable nature.

an algorithm which uses inherently flawed primitives is flawed no matter how much :

- mutes/reports: inherently personal, and can be used by attackers

- follows: content interest != reputabulity

- likes/engagement: even worse than follows, someone could spam and you only see 1 good post you like

the current algorithms are too shallow and assume a relatively static environment where everything has already been bootstrapped

So you haven't read GrapeRank. You can just say that.

Tbh, I'm on the fence when it comes to algorithms and WoT.

Bout even pros & cons.

Fair. We'll break it down on Monday.
