i have about 20 paid relays i use..... i do not want any filters (personal opinnion) this is why i follow many. It makes it much much more easy for me to kick what i not want to see... then to search through what i DO want to see.
I am lazy... thats why i try to do less work , or the same work in a less time consuming action.
(following 1800 people on iris.to, took me only 2 minutes...) filtering to get it acceptable took 20min.
