Reply to comment by Wahaha in The Quest for Better Online Communities by HMTg927

Yes, you could follow someone who is not following you, but you could always adjust who you are following. Being limited to 150 would cause you to naturally think about whether you should remove people from your "follow" list who are perhaps not interested in following you. When you have a limited number of slots you will be more careful with them than if you have, say, 1000 slots.

It might work, but then all you do is create better filter bubbles around people.

Well, you could look at it that way, but remember that a community is a filter bubble of sorts anyway. However, people who realize that would always have the option of reading the unblocked unfollowed feed. In other words, they could just read everything.
