Could you create a PageUnrank algorithm for entities that have *lost* credibility with respect to other entities?
Serious question. It seems like it would be similar. The original PR treated a link as default positive valence on average…what if it’s not for key links?

The links tend to never be removed, so what could be used as a signal that would take precedence over these legacy links over time?

Right and there are many offpage signals obvs but relative value based on new info hard to quantify. Can give more weight to recent signals but auto-solutions seem unreliable, as are other elements of current search algos of course.

An entropy or enthalpy rate would be interesting. A 10 year old twitter account may have tens of thousands of followers, but how many of those accounts remain active? Some kind of social capital flow / evaporation measure.
