Yep, we're already doing that with GrapeRank in the #catallax demo client: image But it's a circular cold-start problem... until there are robust reputation networks, nobody will use a decentralized labor market, and until there is a flourishing market, the WoT won't build beyond "who follows who". In the end-zone, a robust WoT would do WAY more than follows/spam/bots. It's "which npubs say which other npubs are good at performing task X", and other rich attestations that can be gleaned from Other Stuff apps like catallax, https://attestr.app, marketplaces, restaurant review apps, etc.

For instance, your @Nostr Reviews - when things like that are properly GrapeRank-backed, I would expect to be able to find 20 different reviews of X software from 20 different reviewers, and based on what kind of software is being reviewed, and my relationship to that reviewer along that specific context, my "WoT" should help determine who's review is most likely to be valuable to me. ie "I've agreed with Reviewer Y about chat app UIs, but I've disagreed with him about social feed features. I've agreed with Reviewer Z about VPNs." Now when a chat app is reviewed, I'd be inclined towards Reviewer Y, but if the app being reviewed is a social feed, I'd be steered away from him. It's not as simple as "Do I trust Reviewer Y, as a _person_?" or even "Do I think he's a bot?". The context of the attestation matters so much more than those.
