HITS hits art

The blockchain art market is partitioned around the roles of artists and collectors highly concentrated among a few prominent figures. We hence propose to adapt Kleinberg's authority/hub HITS (Hyperlink-Induced Topic Search) method rate in context. This seems reasonable choice since original deftly defines its scores terms mutual recursive relationship between authorities/artists—the miners information/art, hubs/collectors—the assemblers such information/art. evaluated proposed on collector-artist network SuperRare gallery, major crypto marketplace. found that artist collector metrics are weakly correlated with other networks science like degree strength. hints at possibility coupling different measures order profile active users gallery suggests investment strategies risk/reward ratios for as well marketing targets artists.
