I feel that ollower counts are not the best metric since they cns be faked by spinning up an npub and then thousands of others to follow one of them. Using WoT or using Nostr address validation is something that can't be faked.

True not ideal. To be sure, user should search for full nostr address. Still, as shown on screenshots, there can be valid, yet abandonned profiles - in that case followers count works.
