Top liked on nostr can be a bit repetitive, as the primal trending tab shows. I wonder if say having a sort of likes as % of follows added as a factor would help.

Eg someone has 50k followers, posts something/anything and gets 70 likes. That is just a normal post. Someone with 300 followers makes a post that gets 20 likes, that is more of a post worth considering.

I suppose this is the theory behind 'zaps are the signal', but I'm not entirely convinced, I think it is often not that dissimilar to Read Receipt likes for bigger accounts.

Just an aside. But I like your idea:)👀
Wonder if these DVM feeds coming to amethyst will have something along these lines
