The main advantages of Influence Scores are that they’re contextual and they allow us to stop incentivizing people for being “influencers.” So you can find the needle in the haystack, that person who is many hops away from you and has only a few followers but is brilliant in some niche category you’re interested in.

The main disadvantage of Influence Scores is they are computationally burdensome, but there are ways to address that problem.
