I invite people to do keyword search for their favorite influencers (Odell, etc) at 3 locations:
1. Your fav major client, like Primal
2. nostr.world, which uses personalized PageRank
3. NymRank.dev — make sure to change the WoT selector to the one with “default” or “restrictive” settings. (We use different GrapeRank settings and the params make a big difference. “Permissive” settings are too permissive!)
What do you see? Top result will be who you’re looking for, BUT you will see impersonators.
1. Lots of impersonators at Primal (depending on the account)
2. fewer impersonators at npub.world bc personalized PageRank is useful. But still some impersonators bc pPR is not foolproof.
3. No impersonators at NymRank bc it uses GrapeRank which ingests follows, mutes, and reports to create an extremely effective trust metric.

Yep, the impersonators that show under permissive only show up to be adjacent for comparison... in an API setting only the real Odell would show as that's the account occupying the name.
