View submission: Update regarding user profile transparency

TIL you can follow users.

I'd never even noticed that option before. I rarely even look at people's profiles.

It happens ALOT in world news with opposing viewpoints. Eg: Israeli Palestinian conflict.

I see a significant amount of posts which are pro Palestinian viewpoints down voted within 1 minute of posting. (This is from a select number of posters that frequent those posts).

I thought it was bots that track posts and down voted them, but this also makes sense.

Same here. If I want to follow artists or anything, I find them on IG or whatever.

The shareholders don't care about enhancing the features customers actually like about the site. They care about revenue, and that's it.

Every website slowly drifts to become the same mega-whatever-is-the-most-profitable-at-the-time thing, and it sucks.

I'll stay here because I'm the frog in the boiling water. If the site was this way when I found it, I wouldn't have subscribed, but now I'm addicted.

Congrats shareholders, you win.

I follow artists so I don’t miss any new pieces they post.

Yeah first I'm hearing of it too. Is this on new reddit only or something?

You can test that follow button on me, just to make sure it works /s

Yeah, no kidding. Be interesting to see who is following me without me knowing it!

I had one follower and then the other day I noticed I have two! Why? I’m no celeb.
