1) So let's say I go on vacation. I come back to no followers. 2) I read most of the articles that I see in my feed but I share only a few of them, not because I didn't like them or do not care about the poster, I just share the really good ones and the under-shared ones. BUT, that's just me. 2.5) Honestly, you know who you don't want to follow more than Hubski would. 3) I'm lost here. Sounds like a giant messy web of trying to follow whoever follows that guy so that you can see another guy's post. I guess I just don't understand why inactivity is a problem, nor how it relates to the whirlpool of superusers. Interesting ideas nonetheless!
1) Yup! Fuck you indeed. It's not like it's a mandatory "You cannot follow this person any more." Just a message that prompts you to unfollow the person who's taking a break or not coming back. If someone really likes you, they'll stick to it, and if you come back, people will follow you again. 2) Again, if you want to keep following someone who's posts you're not sharing or commenting on, that's your business. You should just be reminded of it. 3) Right now, unfollowing mk and kleibl00 does nothing- I still see them everywhere because almost everyone follows them, and they pull in so many shares and comments taht it's hard to avoid them. Limiting the number of followers a user can get prevents us having a situation where the pond doesn't have room for little fish because there are 3-5 whales wandering around. Yeah, you'd follow someone who followed someone else, but I'd put hard, cold cash that all users are withing 2 degrees of one of Hubski's Holy Trinity.
