I hear your intent, but I personally am very selective of who I follow because, if I'm willing to skim through 1,000 things I don't find interesting, then I'll just go to the global feed. My "followed" feed is for the individuals whose opinions I find consistently insightful/valuable, and I don't want to add people where I consistently find myself simply not caring about their perspective/input. And that's the beautiful thing, is I can choose to sift through a toss-up of interesting or uninteresting content, or I can retreat to my "followed" feed for the stuff I know will stimulate me.

I say this as someone with a tiny following, but for me, to follow more than 100 people is unmanageable.
