Damus’ new “who to follow” feature is as offensive as YouTube or Netflix or Amazon’s watch recommendations. Algorithms that guide thought inhibit personal exploration, and consolidate opinions into a unified groupthink. This is the proof of stake model…those who have the most (dollars or followers) encourage governing algorithms to boost their product selectively over the products of others.

I don't understand why creators working on onboarding are so focused on "people to follow". New users would be better off following topics/hashtags they're interested in. After that, they will be able to find people with something in common.

What might be more useful is a 'discover similar accounts' option? Yes still algorithmic but leaves the control with the user. I find similarweb to be a useful tool for internet research.
