RE: The Top 100 Steem Users By Reputation | Steem Ocean
I don't know the exact algorithm that they are using, but their intro post explains that the witnesses are used to determine 'trust' for accounts - with the idea being that a witness would probably not be following a spam/scam account.
I'm sure everyone is just a little bit despicable :)
I wonder how it deals with joint-witnesses like NobleWitness.
Would all 4 members of that witness for example get equal UA witness ranking boost?
I don't think the individual user accounts would get much of a boost as a result of their witness account (no more than others would do who that account follows). Maybe if that account only follows its constituent member accounts, then there might be an effect. I am just guessing though, based on what I have read.
Will be interesting to watch where UA goes.
Always good to have another column in my spreadsheet.
