I see. Makes sense. The only issue might be with people who use likes for acknowledgement instead of endorsement (like myself). I will often like to show that I saw your comment without the need to reply, but my like may not indicate that I like what you said. I know... confusing.

I think the point remains. Even those people should have much more reactions (likes and zaps) towards the people they actually like. You could, in theory, take this a little further with Sentiment Analysis but it might be too intrusive for the ethos of NOSTR.
As far as UX, it could be a small tag that I choose (only I see it). Different icon for three or so kinds of “liking” someone. The color of it could be a spectrum that parallels the “score”. Then the clients have those tags (for the users who choose to add them) and that allows to give back a prediction in the same form of icon and color back to user for the people they don’t know.
Ya I would much rather assign tags to people - someone I consider very like-minded, or someone who is a friend but may not be on the same wavelength with me, or others who are interesting but I may not have much in common with. Each should have their own weighted influence on my social sphere.
