Really loving this little feature in nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qg5waehxw309aex2mrp09skymr99ehhyee0qyfhwumn8ghj7mmxve3ksctfdch8qatz9uqzp978pfzrv6n9xhq5tvenl9e74pklmskh4xw6vxxyp3j8qkke3cezklg6al 's Coracle.Social nostr client.

Seems like a measure of pure popularity
It would be if it wasn't regulated by the muting function. For instance I only mute accounts that come here and promote shitcoins.
Now if it was just "Who got the most likes/reposts/replies" then you would be 100% correct.
I do see what you are saying but I'm thinking the muting is a function of general psychology of a mass of people and in that mass things organically find what the mass just doesn't want to hear about.
I'd be shocked to find shitcoin accounts followed by a lot of the people you follow
Oh, I am absolutely sure that happens but I would never mute an account because of who they follow. I have no idea why they follow them. I followed Roger Ver on Twitter just so I could see what stupid shit he'd say next.
Imagine a score that gave more weight to follows that are followed back. Like a Facebook friend. Or even more weight when they zap each other.
That can be done. It's just math. It all depends, however, on who implements what and how accepted the function is by the people who choose to use it as a gauge.
This is what I love about being this early to nostr; we don't know what's gonna happen next.
