Beyond that, the value of DT has been diluted immensely and thus reliance upon it as a proper vector for trust isn't the most brilliant idea.
An important thing to realize here is that it never really was a good idea to rely on DT. It was just a perceived view of a trust. There were many scammers in the DT, so how trusted was it after all? So many reasons why relying on a DT was and remains to be a bad idea.
It's just more obvious now why relying on DT is a bad idea.
I think the % of scammers on DT went up dramatically with this new system, but it’s still early. I’m sure at some point things will work themselves out and this will be a positive for everyone. If not, it definitely encourages people to rely on their own lists, so mission accomplished.
My point is that this new DT perceived trustworthiness is better aligned with real trustworthiness. (Regardless of real trustworthiness being low or high).
