Yea sounds like you might be taking the term trust too literally
If we follow each other it doesn't meant we necessarily trust each other... If 100 people that I follow happen to follow you it doesn't mean I trust you either... If you paid a relay I use to post, same...
But those are all heuristics I or some application would use to treat your key in a privileged way, that's WoT. There's no definitive algo, nor is "trust binary, it's just that relationships are observable and "WoT relay" uses that heuristic

I follow you, thanks.
It makes me wonder how coolio would it be to have a kind that is not "follow" but "trust". So that we could truly communicate publicly "I trust this guy".
I think it could the foundation of very, very interesting stuff.

Yea that's kind of the beauty of Nostr, just passing signed notes, you can literally do exactly that right now
Standardizing that process and getting other projects to adopt it in their apps is a little more work...
