I don't know who the top 21 are, I'm going to try to check after this. Do you find that, having muted in that way, you get a mix of perspectives?
My chief gripe is that so many people are very close to zero signal -- you already know what they're going to say. Everything they say is some variant of what they've already said. Or actually, it's a variant of the median view on btc Twitter is. It's not even their own opinions they're regurgitating.
This is equally true of almost every btc podcast at this point. Whatever value there was in that is long gone for me.
The biggest downside so far is that some of these cowboys are really active at sharing good links. So I miss a lot of those.
Just check SN front page once a day/week as anon to see what I missed.
I feel you on the low-signal gripe. A lot of BTC-focused media is top-of-funnel designed to help people fall down the rabbit hole, or validate their bullishness with whatever current thing is happening. But once you're a few years down the rabbit hole, it becomes quite noisy.

I think as time passes some of the user action will probably start to form coherent clusters and sub-communities that might help with this issue. Introducing sub-reddit-like functionality, which I think @k00b said before they intend to do, will open up a lot of blue sky, I think. So much to figure out!
