It's usually a post that spurs me to follow someone. If I find a post unusually interesting, I'll look at the posts/shares of the person that submitted it. If they look quality, I'll add them to my feed.

Every few weeks or so, I'll look at my feed and see how my least favorite posts got there. If they have one source in common, I'll unfollow that person. It's nothing personal.

I have ways outside of my feed to see what is going on about the site in general, but I do my best to engage the site as a user, and not as an admin. I really want to know how Hubski feels from a user's POV. I've even turned off admin pages for a time, so that we have no choice but to see only what a user can.

The shares-count function can be helpful, and I turn it on from time to time.
