I agree. When I send a gif URL is it sent as a Kind 1? The reason I ask is when you say 'blog post' that's what I'm thinking of in my mind. I write a few words, it's cast as a static URL in a note (kind 1?) and the user sees the words like they always see. When I edit that blog post the URL in the note is unchanged but it's rendered content has changed. It's clear that the author could use this as a way to rug people in various ways but wouldn't their WoT start taking hits as people who got rugged unfollow the npub?

Images are usually sent as mutable urls, yeah, but @hzrd149 is fixing this with blossom, which extends the content addressability to files as well. > wouldn't their WoT start taking hits as people who got rugged unfollow the npub? Yes, but that's not really a complete disincentive. Maybe they don't care about their wot and they're trolling, maybe their already famous and they get to be deceptive about what they've said publicly (c.f. SBF). There are other reasons listed in @fiatjaf's article he linked above, one of which is that edits with history are quite complex, and raise the bar for developers to prototype new clients.
