 I am only interested in people who occasionally surprise me. I don't want to be able to compress your entire feed down to a very small file.

 Okay, that was unexpected. 😅 
 Mission accomplished 😊 
 Entropy is what makes me interesting. 
 Hey, that's me, on occasion! 😁  
 This is a great filter to use across all my curated information streams.

 don't confuse surprising with contradictory 
 "edgy" does not count as surprising, edgy usually means contradictory (to expectation) or just plain disgusting (to provoke a reaction)

while you can say that might be "surprising" on teh face of it if you actually look at the record of the character and the tone of their expressions this kind of "surprise" is part of their act 
 yet you don't want to explicitly affirm that "surprising" can be droll
