Web of trust works for a social use case however people use microblogging/ blogging platforms for other things. Journalists will follow people they don’t necessarily agree with to see what is happening on their beat. Scientists who used Twitter a lot before it’s downfall also may not have trusted everyone they followed but they were using the connections to see what else is happening in their field or adjacent fields - this is especially true when there’s a paradigm shift happening in science.
