Thanks. Yes, I did already save that reply in Notion. I sometimes do that, and then come back to it later to see if I can polish it up into an article.

Yes, I unfollowed all authors, publications and topics. I got tired of my feed and wanted to see what would happen if I just reset the whole thing. I was becoming bored of seeing the same old shit all the time.

I wanted to know what happens if you don't tell Medium anything about what you're interested in. It turns out that your feed then tends to contains the most popular articles, or those on the rise, which is actually good place to start from.

I did consider going through everything and trying to decide who to unfollow and who to stay following, but I realised that would be far too time consuming. Better to just wipe the whole slate clean and start again.
