I used to be that way on Twitter too. I always obsessively wanted to read on my timeline. So I would unfollow high frequency tweeters just rely on others retweeting their more interesting stuff, or even just occasionally checking in on them.

That's why I always had a relatively sharp ration of follows vs following. The algorithm completely messed that up.

On Nostr my only gripe is duplicate posts in my feed, but one day I'll feel motivated to patch a client to fix that...
