You hit the nail squarely on the proverbial head, Carlo!

The feed is pure horse shit! 90% of the authors I see I have never heard of and have no interest in making their acquaintance. I too have to do way too much searching to find those pals I want to read and keep up with. Too much of our lives are run by algorithms. Talk about ghosts in the machine!

Okay, I'll stop ranting. All the best to you, Carlo.
