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 –
– don’t have to subscribe, as via /all/new, they get all the good stuff without any commitment anyway!
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.

The "block sub" button is part of the problem.
It allows to create a custom feed not based on the subs that you subscribe to (i.e., the way things are supposed to be)... but on what subs you block.
If this was fully intentional, then with the only aim to foster & protect a discriminatory cancel mentality, i.e., to "keep the plebs in check." A kind of unfortunately entitled, circle-jerking elitism that I have had to notice here before...
