I streamlined mine recently, after reading that pennsif had done the same. I was pretty sure I'd been missing content from people I was interested in, so in that regard it was a good idea.
But as a show researcher for pennsif I've now found that I don't see as much new stuff coming through, so I'm going to have to go digging. Ah well, swings & roundabouts lol.
The one thing I wish we could do is unhook those spammer-types from following US. They certainly bring the numbers up and help push you up a level but it is a false positive IMO.
Anyhoo, good on you for choosing quality over quantity. :D
Hahaha, yeah he unfollowed me in his purge! That is a good idea. I wish you could block the spammers that follow and unfollow constantly hoping you'll notice them and follow back! You do. Just not in the way they were hoping. They piss me off the most.
Especially the ones that lurk around and pounce on the newbies. I know I got caught out, thinking someone was being nice during my first days here.
