I understand that ppl with more than some thousand followers can't and won't follow back. But for me it's still something very new and interested to look at the accounts. If I like the content I follow back. If I see a "repost" account, I'm not interested. Also some accounts spam 20 notes a day, which ruins my feed.
I think there is truth to what you say. But ultimately I love Nostr for the ability to craft my own feed and not being generated by an AI. 🧡💜
