For instance, click rates show that my sub is overwhelmingly popular with the general Phuks crowd – yet no one actually subscribes! =/
I understand. Obviously, this is due to cancel-culture peer pressure taking its toll. That, and of course also because our fans –

I believe it is really a matter of fairness that the subs one enjoys in one’s feed, one also gets to be subscribed to. This could even be an automated process.
Then add a sitewide random sticky to the top of /all/new – to keep things nice’n’agitated.

Exactly. It's essentially a manipulation of public popularity numbers to keep underdogs down. Straight from Psy-Op 1O1.
