I started here last month and although I never did the follow for follow, I followed everyone I chatted with about their posts. Last week I decided to go through everyone I followed before it got to be too many and see if I still wanted to follow them. I was amazed how many had only made one or two posts say 20 days ago without further movement on their accounts. Some others I couldn't see what I'd thought would be interesting in their posts (like photos without any text telling where the place is). Anyway, after unfollowing all those, I went from well over 100 to just 46 who I now still follow. In light of this I feel follow for follow is a time waster. I bet those people don't post much.
As for your suggestion, it won't be necessary for me. I intend to monitor who I follow more closely myself and I don't mind who sees it. Also I like to check whether or not someone is following me. I couldn't do that if it was hidden. I guess that makes me a 'disagree'. Upvoted, already follow you.
