Well, I wouldn't want to intrude, but, if you insist...
I think the follow/unfollow think is too cheap and disorganized to be "useful".
I follow everyone I'm even vaguely interested in, and most of the people who follow me never interact with me in any way.
I find it much more useful to delegate tiny amounts of steem to the accounts I'm actually interested in (sort of like pa.treon, but without all the credit-card-and-personal-info-sharing). That gives me a ranked list, and I can adjust my "interest" at any time, so it's dynamic. I also like that on steemworld I can quickly scan over the names and see their current rank and steem-power. If I see someone who looks a little low on rank and or steem-power, I check out their stuff to see if they need some upvotes and or more delegation.
I usually add people I've had at least brief conversations with and think I might like to follow-up on at some, non-specific time in the future.

It's never an intrusion when you're invited into someone's home :P
I don't think I was clear, sorry about that. I linked a post in my response, my recent post, but I do appreciate your thoughts on this topic too! and no obligation friend, for thoughts with my new post. I only recommended it to you because I value your opinion, but never any obligation of course.

I find this to be a very creative and thoughtful manner in both giving support to those you're interested in, as well as the Steemworld ranking order. Very interesting and unique, creative indeed :)
Sometimes I think I put too much "thought energy" into certain things. I agree with your perspective that the follow mechanism is somewhat useless in some aspects/respects.
I'm always a little hesitant because I tend to go 100% critique without even noticing.
Why am I declining rewards?
Imagine a "democratic" system, where you could vote for your elected officials, but your vote only "counted" as much as you "invested" in the election system itself (election tokens)... Now that by itself sounds reasonably "fair".
bUT, now imagine that anyone with a larger "investment" in the election system could ERASE your vote?
Would you continue voting? Or would you just give directly to the candidate of your choosing?
Would love to hear your thoughts on this topic. :)
