When @noblewitness starts to follow your account, you will raise in UA rank. At the moment the influence of @noblewitness is removed from the UA system, as it is not following anybody.
We tried to avoid any manual interaction for calculation UA. Its value completely depends on witness voting and follow behavior of all accounts without any manual correction.
theres ten accounts on the top 100 following nobody, noble included.
its pretty unclear what this "influence" is
Witness accounts are the seed accounts for calculating UA.
In the first UA calculation round, every witness get's a start UA value based on its received witness votes count. All other accounts starts with zero UA.
Accounts that following nobody do not increase UA of other accounts but can receive UA (seed as witness or being followed by others).
Where Im from, influence means people listen to another person talking.
idle accounts, witness or not, have no influence.
Klout.com tried to solve this for social for a long time and kept failing and died.
Activity and user response to it indicates influence, but as a long time user who actually KNOWS the people in your top 100 and can see who is active and and influencing others or the platform?
The algorithm needs some work.
Thank you for your feedback. I will replace idle witnesses by their active accounts. Let's see how the top100 is changing (computation takes a day).
Sounds like a step... but then spot check your list. You'll see the holes. I have my site down now, but dead follows and followers are another big thing. My tool shows that on average only about 27% of peoples followers are even still on the platform at all.
The point is, scores like these, including our reps, are just kinda pointless. We know who is active, because we see and hear them. Your list is currently full of silent and secondary accounts. Rather see you burning brain cells making something useful to the platform and community.
I remember Klout, and understand what they're trying to do. Definitely gonna take a lot of tweeking to represent a fair 'UA' score. Do I have to pee in a cup? Lmao
Am I being detained?
