And this is one more reason why we need a score, like the Influence Score, that can “see” past 2 hops.

Suppose Alice joins today. She follows Bob, the only person she knows on nostr. Her client calculates Influence Scores, which takes a few minutes. She will immediately discover that her grapevine-curated data feeds are identical to Bob’s. That’s how Influence Scores work. This is not true of WoT Scores, which will be of very limited utility at this point in Alice’s experience.

So the initial onboarding process will be pretty painless. And as Alice adds more follows and contextual attestations, her grapevine-curated data feeds will become customized to be as she wants them to be.
