Could nostr be used to solve fake reviews spam?

I was just thinking about this a bit and think maybe it could?

Right now, every platform has an issue with fake reviews. No matter what they say, fake reviews are leaking into all sorts of platforms - predominantly into Amazon.

New platforms based on Nostr could implement Web of Trust mechanisms where npubs are used to calculate a trust score (an aggregate score of all the pubs who commented on a product / service, whatever it may be). This score could be used to show confidence levels in the notes.

The platform implementing this could offer different criteria for confidence levels (so the user can always be in control of which criteria matters to them).

For example, the user could select “aged npubs with x number of followers” or only npubs who post on this platform frequently, or any combination of any other factors (following, network of people I follow), that may indicate a quality response (perhaps an image of the product).

Obviously, the spam will continue, but at least the user will be armed with ways of differentiating which npubs may be spam and which aren’t.

Thoughts?

Great, another place to argue with morons. nostr:note1cyfynfztx8zf2mr3yv23skkvvgss79rvymdl08glesmh2cjh2ydqkl0n9v

Are Damus users able to Zap Notes anymore? What if they never updated? Is the github Damus different than the Apple store Damus? Did it get removed? Lol. Someone catch me up plz.

I’m amazed how sending bitcoin to people has just become a normal part of my daily life because of nostr.

Getting serious Jason vibes out here.

What if instead of only allow people to use a private key for login / registration, we had a Sign Up / sign in with Google and upon doing that, a key pair is generated for you and emailed to address. You would still have a nostr npub / nsec, but it would automatically back up for you. The user recognizes the social login, and it’s easier to populate information from that option. It would be like a hybrid mode where you keep the old sign up process but on the front end it’s all nostr. Perhaps then you could use that connection to integrate with other traditional services, perhaps with a database attached. So it would be like nostr, but with a benefit of a light database for some efficiency and integrations with minimal info collected.

Dumb idea? Defeats the entire purpose? Thoughts?

Most of those people don’t know or care about my thoughts either.
