need the users.

Yep. I see the same people all the time in my feed, often with many of the same takes. Part of that is because I've been a bit frugal about who I follow. (Made the mistake in other places of doing the polite "follow back" policy and wound up with a bunch of people and content I really don't wish to have in my feed.) When I go to "global" to see what's up, there's lots of people (or bots), but it's also kind of weird.
