yeah but there are i guess in top 100 and for example, i see inactivity in the 36th position from netuoso. He is still in that top 100 ranking so how the actual ranking system works?

Top witnesses are 20+1 not 100.
If I'm not wrong bellow 21 just process blocks, don't approve. So.. no problem with inactivity on 36

ahh so if something changes in the overall ranking it doesn't affect the top 20! Thanks man!

because you know i thought that if let's say i am in rank 35 and the one that is 36th is inactive, that would make me actually being in 34. That's why i confused

From hive.blog FAQ
"The Hive blockchain requires a set of people to create blocks and uses a consensus mechanism called delegated proof of stake, or DPOS. The community elects 'witnesses' to act as the network's block producers and governance body. There are 20 full-time witnesses, producing a block every 63-second round. A 21st position is shared by the backup witnesses, who are scheduled proportionally to the amount of stake-weighted community approval they have. Witnesses are compensated with Hive Power for each block they create."
