Blow it up and start over?! I wonder how things would reorganize. Or I wonder if it matters. You and I don't follow each other, but we seemingly have no hindrance to interacting. I think there's no such thing as "an incentive to become a power user". I think there are people who post good content, and others appreciate it or don't. I can see an argument for why the community may not want to know how many followers user X has, but don't blame user X for having lots of followers. Maybe we should call them "subscribers". Would that alter perceptions, you think? StephenBuckley is a good example of someone who has gained a lot of followers rapidly. Dude posts good shit. Why penalize that?
