 Yeah, but if they've been here a while and can't find anyone worth following, then it says more about them than about us.

 Then again, we’re probably talking about different things. I’m talking about people who never progress much past 150 people ( the rough number of connections a human can have and maintain meaning), and what amounts to RSS feeds people follow.

 150 is okay. Some npubs have like 1-10. 😂
May as well be bots and many probably are. Or some marketing department or whatever.

 I read a study back in like…. 2008? About how more than 150 connections essentially make you shallow. It was a warning against Facebook as I recall. I’d like to find it again to see how much truth there is to it.

 quite concessional - my "shallow" threshold was 1 connection.
