Was asking this question elsewhere. I think you have to force people to publish follow graphs. I would rather err on the side of a weak signal (like a follow for a user preference) than having no signal at all. Not having the incentive to do so…will create client lock in…

Which we want to avoid in the first place. We want the option to exit and not having a follow graph is repeating the same mistake. Twitter Facebook are nothing without social graphs

Additionally, and this is a big, initial "physics" change, but I think *following others* should be forced into "lists" rather than one pool.  It's fine right now, but with scale, follows in one pool become more and more noisy, which makes recommendation algos more necessary, which ends up with nth order issues.
