I Just Unfollowed Over 100 People On Steem (and I feel great)

This is how I run my Twitter account, I keep the bare minimum amount of people. Regardless if I like someone, if their content is not interesting, it becomes noise. With a lot of things, I try to reduce the noise so I can process a lot more information on a daily basis.

Precisely. My Twitter account is sadly still in a state of disarray, but since discovering Steem at the beginning of 2018, I haven't really been Tweeting as much and focusing my energy on blogging here. I really should go and do a cleanup over there, but I am going to need a bigger scrubbing brush and a lot of bleach, haha.

Definitely. It gets to the point where it's impossible without the assistance of a bot or something to truly see every post showing in your feed when you eclipse a certain number of followers. Cognitively it's just not possible, so it makes sense to keep it small.

I find I browse through the tags from time-to-time manually instead of my feed looking for content I wouldn't usually see from authors I would never have thought of following. I've been flirting with some SteemSQL queries of late to find long-form content from reputable authors that I might make the norm for finding new content.

Also gave you a follow thanks @berniesanders

What I don't get is the odd goose that gets upset when you un-follow them. Like it's a personal attack. shrug

People are fickle, just laugh and move on. Everyone has their quirks.
