I've more or less given up reading the "New" tab, there is so much there that doesn't interest me, and then when I get to the bottom of the page I have to wait for what seems like ages while Steemit spins it's wheels and loads the next lot of stuff to wade through.
Here is a suggestion - instead of giving us the ability to follow people, can we follow topics instead?
My ideal Steemit would be a custom list of topics I have selected showing up for me on the right hand column of the home page. That way, if I never want to read another "I made xxx on steemit" post again, I don't have to - I can just select topics I like.
I'd also love if my home page was exclusively made up of stories from my selected topics, in a similar way to how it is when you log into Reddit.
Devs, is this possible to deliver?
