 Who are you talking about? 
 Anyone who follows, reposts, replies to and interacts with fake accounts get us further away from a working WoT. 

Example: if my following count is 100 and 50 of my following follows a fake account and interact with it and puts it on my feed for me to see every day, how likely is it for that fake npubs WoT to be high enough for me to blindly trust it

 If half of the people you follow interact with an account maybe it’s because it’s valuable or because half your follows are bots or retarded. β€œFake” might be too subjective a label in this case.

 actually lemme explain 

most of my following are men as is most of our current community on nostr and most technology enthusiast at large, that’s my following, now introduce into the equation a fake profile which is a profile of a person that does not exist, is not real, yes the picture is might be real but there’s 50+ different pictures of different girls attached to one nostr identity making that user what I like to call a fake profile, my following isn’t necessary retarded or bots, they are simply of human nature gullible & men that can think well with their heads but when it comes to boobies n a pretty face one head takes charge. 

Hope that makes some sense n brings clarity to the subject at hand lol 
 but yeah half my following isn’t like this maybe 1/4 of it is

 Her WoT score  on Coracle is 25 for me and the friend of hers you post is a 2. As a reference,  your score is 315. It's working as a pretty good good indicator for me. 
 i need go mess around with coracle n see the WoT algo they’ve got, so generally what is a low score and what’s a high score ?

 That’s subjective and also depends how many people you follow. Here’s the algo.

 Should we change it from "fake" accounts to fiat accounts? Where value is diminishing and or non existent. If you get value from the not account showing bitcoin blocks status is it any less real than the Dev you ask questions or Odell when asking his opinion. Follow what you want to follow. Its your feed, if npubs I follow post content I find a waste I either unfollow them of mute/block the content I find meaningless. Curation is how you build your own WoT.
