Yeah on a more serious note, I was thinking something like Attestr could work for things like media reviews... Movies, books, exhibits, music, etc... i.e. a semi-formalized data format for "I liked X thing", which could then be measured against WoT score
Thanks to the nostr:npub1kypar542k67a5gg45zx027cw633fys9f0r7cdlzlppmk30n800yqja7u72 guys ( nostr:npub1marcan0laywmjprf4m8d34dr8m724a6jxxa56a5wwygcgj23q7nskfwmfg , nostr:npub1vppdwqmhlzhftstq5exturmry4u0pdfm93mqj4zfuuznhclxygfsdatk8w ) for having me on! I had a lot of fun and I'm really grateful to have had a chance to psychobabble about all the topics that are currently important to me, including but not limited to:
- Hopes, dreams and slightly unrealistic expectations for #catallax
- The existential importance of Subjective, Contextualized Webs of Trust (h/t nostr:npub1u5njm6g5h5cpw4wy8xugu62e5s7f6fnysv0sj0z3a8rengt2zqhsxrldq3 and nostr:npub1healthsx3swcgtknff7zwpg8aj2q7h49zecul5rz490f6z2zp59qnfvp8p )
- Planting seeds for anarchocapitalist private contract and arbitration systems
- Why and how I'm attempting to build a Bitcoin-only, general interest print bookstore with nostr:npub1c74n52sngtmceu96gxms7lsfcdz3gqsfla9swcdgt7wc0qw684zqfe2cj2
- Half-assed musings on the connection between Darwinian natural selection, Austrian economics, voluntarist anarchism, open protocols and human flourishing
- Peer to peer personal servers
- Assassination markets; and how you definitely shouldn't make one..

Something like that! Probably would have to be a lot simpler than attestr.
Another approach I am partial to is nostr:npub1u5njm6g5h5cpw4wy8xugu62e5s7f6fnysv0sj0z3a8rengt2zqhsxrldq3 's decentralized lists for this kind of thing:
https://github.com/PrettyGoodFreedomTech/nips/blob/decentralized-lists/93.md
A list like "good comedy movies in 2025" that people can contribute to, then using GrapeRank WoT you could not only filter out spam, but filter the list based on contextual reputation, like "only show me npubs' contributions if I trust them for comedy movies" or "show me npubs' contributions whose taste in movies I **strongly disagree with**" (so you know what movies to avoid).
Even if 8 million npubs contributed to this open, decentralized list, you don't have to give a shit about most of them except the people in your GrapeRank AND the trust-context you care about - handily cutting the whole human populations' opinions down to a handful you can actually make sense of.
