In fairness they are transparent about this and give the user the option to edit.

They're not transparent about it
If they were transparent about it there would be giant red letters saying "warning: following these people makes nostr absolute fucking shit"
Yeah and following no one and seeing random stuff in the feed makes nostr absolutely amazing
For real. Nostr has been showing amazing potential lately for me, while I don't follow anyone

Your comment made absolutely zero sense.
Re-read it then. It's all valid English, not random emoji
Go on then, i'll bite.
How does following people under the interest categories the user selected themselves, make Nostr 'absolute fucking shit'?
Are you suggesting it inherently does based on something I said, or are you asking about the specific case here where they're shitty people that ruin nostr? Either way, weird question
Answer the question or move along.
1. If you mean inherently, I'm still not sure what I said that you're basing that on.
2. If you mean in this case, I'm not sure what's not clear about how auto-following shitty people would exacerbate how they damage nostr.
3. It's weird that you didn't actually mean a particular interpretation of your words, or at least you refuse to clarify which of my 2 possible interpretations it was, and you act rude about needing me to answer both possible interpretations.
Try it though. If you want to start fresh you have to hit custom them unfollow each and every batch individually (there are a lot) and it's glitchy (the defaults can be different on each batch), so it's actually a LOT of work to unfollow everyone suggested.
Sounds like teething issues, but I hear ya.
What's the alternative? Show someone an empty feed. Seems like a fine trade-off to make for me.
Yup, totally empty, but tons of content aimed at onboarding others you already know.
