Yeah. I have seen some sketch shizzle that made me wonder. Are the npubs that say Ryan and 35 others (or insert number) in the WOT?

A lot of people I follow have fallen for these tactics unfortunately
Unless people are more discerning in who they follow WoT will be useless, and Nostr will be overrun with bots and scams. I see lots of authentic new users with little to no follows and no engagement, while crap like this is followed by accounts with big influence who have been here for a long time.
