Exactly nobody likes to be told who to follow

We've had this idea on the backburner for a while. Issue is if the starter pack is bad, increases the likelihood of churn. Much easier to make a bad list (since they naturally atrophy) than a good list (which requires a lot of work, but if good, obviously would likely increase retention).

That's awesome news, congrats on the new feature! Sounds like it'll make onboarding way easier for new users. Can't wait to try it out, thanks for the tip!
