Great feedback, as you suggest there is no one size fits all solution. Perhaps the DM approach (with ability to opt out if you don't want it) is the way so you don't miss long form posts by people you follow. The idea behind subscriptions is to not only follow but also set up a recurring payment to the authors you want to support, I'm looking at NWC subscriptions and lists as a possible way to implement this but is still early and need to think about it more. I think we'll dedicate the next Habla design meeting to this topic, is the next big milestone for Habla.
