No thanks. Social media needs less hero worship. Just RSS whoever you like.
Make the feature a per user list of flagged sources.
I would have agreed in past, but the new random "blog" at whatever.etc being written by LLMs is making me skip clicking most links here now.
I agree. I won't do heroes. Ever.
A National Treasure, on the other hand - they enrich life without being a vector for tribalism (eg:Michael Kramer/Kate Reading).
Stop calling them "National Treasures." That's hero worshipping. That's just sad.
