Re: 2. 
There is always some element of popularity in reputation. Some people with better resources and connections are going to be more reputable because of that very reason. But the "reward" that you mention is not zero sum, by any means. Many people can be reputable, and not at the cost of other people losing that reputation. There is no unfairly favoring because EVERYONE can be reputable. 

I imagine a world where the goal is that we simply raise the bar - you must have people willing to vouch, review you to participate in most parts of web3. This doesn't mean it's going to be an all out fight to be reputable, it means you need to pass some minimum qualifications that bots, sybils, fake accounts won't be able...

Popularity and reputation play a role in securing better lending rates. Building trust and credibility in the decentralized finance space is crucial for success. Leveraging connections and resources can enhance your reputation, but ultimately, raising the bar for qualifications benefits everyone in the ecosystem. It's about creating a trustworthy environment where genuine reputation is valued over superficial factors.
