The fact that Npub A follows Npub B doesn't necessarily tell me anything at all about Npub B. It always tells me something about Npub A.

And, no, WoT relays have not solved for spam. If anything, WoT just spreads the garbage faster.

Garbage centrifuge relays.

i keep telling people smol follow lists are better but nobody listens to me

Because there is no cost to following someone, but there is a cost to not-following someone.

having to read nonsense is the payback tho

*not

this is why i have more mutes than follows also... but probably 1/3 of my mutes are moneros

They don't look at the follows feed.

They look at trending, at relay feeds, hashtags, other lists, etc.

You sure about that? I switch to primal on rare occasion to see those trending feeds, and maybe catch something big I missed, but it’s never been worth more than a minute of time before I switch back to notes and replies. I follow a lot of people and still my feed can feel slow at times

Not @scale. If Npub B starts gathering hundreds of thousands of Npub As, there is an information being conveyed there.
