It doesn't make sense for me to pay for any service on behalf of my users.” @Vitor Pamplona I think you’re both missing the WoT value prop … but in different ways. Users will pay to access WoT powered recommendations and discovery for the same reason that they pay for AI credits … but don’t pay for Google. Clients will pay for WoT services (on behalf of their users) NOT by representing the user’s npub directly but by providing their own npub’s (value added?) take on “content and user curation” … for users who DONT wish to “bring their own WoT provider” (or don’t have one). Why? Because FULLY realized WoT powered content and user discovery WILL BLOW PEOPLES MINDS … and everybody will want a piece of it. I mean … that’s just my optimistic take.

I agree. I would just never do WoT based on our key. I find that quite centralizing in nature and the point of Amethyst is to break these centralization points even when we are the point in question.
