Nostr account with 2 followers is more trusted than 99.9% of accounts.
We index 51,551 Nostr pubkeys with PageRank. Here's what the top 50 looks like:
#1: 1,487 followers → trust score 21
#5: 211 followers → trust score 13
#10: 60 followers → trust score 13
#38: 18 followers → trust score 8
#42: 3 followers → trust score 8
#43: 2 followers → trust score 8
The bottom of this list — accounts with 2-3 followers — outrank 51,500+ other pubkeys.
Why? Because *who* follows you matters more than *how many* follow you. A nod from jack or jb55 sends more PageRank your way than a thousand anon follows.
This is what the follow graph looks like when you measure trust instead of popularity.
