Also, and maybe this is heretical, but could a type of rating be something calculated by WoT starring, and number of references or etc.? Does that increase or decrease information?
That would be an importance/significance-rating, in other words, and cut out the typical data noise of human rating systems.

@franzap @Pip the WoT guy @Niel Liesmons @Dustin Dannenhauer and a few others were discussing the virtues and drawbacks of WoT rating systems in Riga.
I think there is value here, when it comes to products or restaurants.
For example, u could do a weighted average, that at a glance shows u relevant information.
Instead of having each review/rating have the same weight, one could give more importance to your follows.
e.g. your follows have weight 1. npubs 2 hops away have weight 1/2, then 1/4 and so on. The idea is that people closer to u will have an opinion that is probably more relevant that people far away from u
You could also value to the rating of npubs that like the same things you like more.
