That "someone" are the users of the app. The carousels on the home page are listener driven. Read their titles, they're self explanatory. Most Favorited songs/albums/playlists are surprisingly, the most favorited songs/albums/playlists by the listeners. Similarly the top rated songs are the songs that are top rated by the listeners. These are all listener driven. The idea is that as more users with differing tastes rate and favorite things then those carousels will have more interesting and better (hopefully) vontent. User curated playlists are another way that this surfaces. You may notice that some users have a knack for picking great songs to listen to and may want to listen to their playlists. @astro_penguin is an excellent example of this. https://v4vmusic.com/?playlist=cmhj039830gcood0i0tkuw6n1 IDK what a "nostr and contextual web-of-trust" even means or how nostr even comes in to play here. Just because one can jam nostr into something, doesn't mean one should. I just know that when people favorite like a playlist such as Astro_Penguin's then it comes into my view. I listen to his playlist, I like it so I favorite it. Now it's saved under my favorites for me to listen to again. Please listen to episode 1 of the v4v music podcast where I go through all the features of their app. https://v4vmusic.com/?song=cmixpr1fm00f2od0imec2b4ud

Thanks, will listen. I won’t be able to do justice to contextual WoT in a nostr note, so I’ll just have to build an app that demonstrates how it works. Stay tuned. Nostr isn’t being jammed in here – it would be if I said something like let’s replace the RSS distribution layer with nostr. That would be silly. Nostr provides a portable reputation and social graph across multiple apps. That alone is a killer feature to build a curation system that wouldn’t just be confined to one app. It’s a natural complement to the open distribution that RSS brings

I agree this is a really good use case for nostr. Certainly not jammed in. @Sir Libre its essentially what youre trying to do with the ratings system but supercharged so that its "intelligent" enough to be able to specifically tailor your recommendations by comparing your personal taste profile against other individuals by assigning scores to various categories (genres for example) based off a users actions. WOT essentially allows you to build personal profiles that follow you beyond just a single app and compare with other similar users. It has powerful implications across the entire valueverse.
