    then you wouldn't need that pesky recommendation engine that gave me 900+ followers in the first place.
-fwiw, that pesky recommendation engine has been defunct for a good while now. You are "naturally" receiving these people now.

When a new user joins it simply says, "you are not following anyone yet...."

Aware. However, the intent behind the system remains, thus it's worth discussing. My proposal accomplishes the task set forth by the recommendation engine without skewing the site towards outsized behemoths such as thee and me.
