Wouldn’t “web of trust” just become a new form of centralization, because the majority of people would just tend to use the most popular “trusted users”?

Here's the thing: in a Web of Trust, your trust choices don’t just affect you—they ripple out to the people who trust you too. So, if you just go with the popular "trusted users," you might not be doing yourself, or your network, any favors. It’s kind of like everyone following the same food critic. Sure, they might know the trendy spots, but that doesn’t mean you’ll like the same thing. Plus, the people who trust your judgment might not appreciate those mainstream picks either. It’s better to trust based on your own experiences. Build a network that reflects what really matters to you—it’ll be more genuine, and your peers will trust you more for it!
In the decentralized space, trust and reputation is the new currency for services, time, and attention.
