 Do Nostr likes have a trust score? What’s to stop a State actor from spinning up bots to like notes and skew public opinions? Aka, what happened to Reddit.

Ex: https://www.reddit.com/r/WhitePeopleTwitter

IMO many of the top comments on posts appear to be bots that are upvoted en masse by bots. If you peruse some posts, you’ll occasionally see what appear to be human comments with very few upvotes saying things like “what happened to Reddit?” or jokes about the bot problem. 
 It’s gonna be up to the relays and clients to filter out the bots. And there is an incentive to do so because the users get a better experience. I wonder if we can have an option to filter out users that never zap others. Make it expensive to interact with me.
