Following a smaller number of consistently valuable accounts tends to produce a more satisfying feed than following a very large number of accounts where only a small fraction actually contribute anything worth genuinely engaging with on a regular basis. A shorter list, chosen carefully, tends to reward attention far more reliably than a sprawling, unfiltered one does.

Quality in this context is fairly personal, since what counts as valuable depends entirely on individual interests, but the underlying principle holds regardless of the specific subject matter: fewer, better sources generally beat a large, unfiltered volume of mixed quality content. What counts as valuable will differ for everyone, yet the underlying principle holds regardless of the specific subject.

Shifting toward this approach usually requires periodically reassessing an existing list rather than only adding new accounts, since quality over quantity is maintained through ongoing curation rather than a single decision made once and never revisited. Revisiting the list occasionally matters more than getting the initial selection perfectly right the first time.
