 I'm not a fan of wot, as currently discussed or implemented.  
 What does WoT mean? 
 Web of Trust. 

It's the idea that if two nyms (account/people) mutually follow a third nym, there's a good chance that that third nym is a "legit" and therefore their notes should make it through a filter.

Alternatively, if two nyms block a third, the filter can block the third nym. 

I would need way too much time to explain why I don't like either of these types of filtering even if they have pros.  
 I'm not sure I like it either now that you've explained it a bit further. Honestly, it seems kind of unecessary and it sounds like a burdensome feature to have implemented. 
 WTF do I know? I'm not a dev and can't code. 🙄🤷‍♂️😏 
 Lol neither am I. I'm just saying, conceptually speaking, it sounds burdensome. 
 Yeah.

That's my point. Way too many devs have their heads so far up each others' butts that they can't see what's painfully obvious to others who have an outside perspective. Plus... These WoT-maxis don't see target obvious vulnerabilities. I'm going to laugh when the next iteration of bot infiltrates their WoT rings and then they are going to scramble to put more effort into things that just muck up the whole system. 

I'm not all that smart and can see this happening in the very near future. I will laugh in peoples' faces unabashedly when this happens. I'm mean like that. 😎 
 Hold I'm making a meme about this😁. 
 Alright, the meme-making isn't going well, so nevermind. But still you would think that devs who are working on a decentralized protocol would be far more open to user feedback😏🙄. How ironic.
