As I've been aggressively curating my follow and mute lists to get WoT filtering to work the way I want it to, I've been noticing a clear pattern. I have very little interest in following any keys of an organization. I like to hear from individuals.

Please shill me on why I should want to see notes from any keys held by a group of people. Usually they're trying to sell something.

I am guilty of posting some of that

i'm using LLM tools these days but i write better than they do. more real, anyway.

writing is a skill I never fully developed. I'm happy to get help from the LLMs

i write so much, my problem is trimming it down

also, i tend to mostly be more precise, i do make mistakes like failing to close brackets, and i can't be arsed with capital letters except when it's names

I'm in favor of casual style for kind 1s, and saving the careful editing for long form posts

i generally can't be bothered writing long form anything, at least, unless i get paid for the quality of it. LLMs can do documentation, at least, to sketch out the structure and stub everything in for me. long form, idk, you probably have seen my typical notes. usually about 500-1000 words lol.

i figure, the stream of consciousness is more valuable in these times when you can get a machine to digest all my writings and summarise all the themes in a 1000 word section for each topic lol.

i'm very creative, and often think as i write, better than i think. the rest of my good thinking happens when i'm falling asleep and sometimes i have to get up and write it down, more usually, write code, that i was thinking about.

It's not so much hearing from those orgs but seeing the comments back to them where I find value. Neat to see who follows Graphene for example and what they have to say about it. A note can be like a pop-up chat, probably not that often but that's what stands out.

agreed, I don't want to follow them directly, but I'll still see replies based on the algos I'm running

Because it rewards quality over hype.

Traditional ads favour big budgets, not better products.

But a web of trust lifts brands that serve customers well.

Less marketing. More word of mouth. Better value.
