 For me, it's the absolute opposite.

I was annoyed, when #YouTube changed its star rating system to like & dislike. Now it's only like, anyway.

The same way I never understood how people just "follow" everyone the same way, when clearly not all followed deliver content of exactly the same quality for you.

I have this issue on #GitHub & now on #Nostr, as well.

Like, everyone follows each account for different reasons.

Would you put RSS bots in the same category as literal humans traveling around the world? I think, not.

So, I basically experience a feed with lots of crap, because everything is in the same pool of "followed" npubs.

I want to follow all, but I'm not interested the same way & same degrees in all the content each npub publishes.

Therefore, especially the Super Follow & Follow thing makes absolute sense to me.

Like, I already had to unfollow so many people on #Nostr, simply because they crap up my feed with too many posts. I want to follow them, but I simply cannot, due to the lack of such a filtering & categorisation mechanic.
