I find my follow list really useful. Many of the accounts i follow interest me but don't necessarily make it to trending or even post in specific communities. I use that feature on hive blog daily. I also use @steevc follow Friday. It's great to discover worthwhile content and new authors.
Absolutely - it’s the same here. I don’t follow entirely all the huge accounts, just smaller ones I enjoy the content of. Some larger accounts do produce awesome content, but they tend to be based around finances, development or crypto. Cool when I can understand it 😆
