Following someone ought to mean you want to hear from them. Their place in your feed shouldn't depend on whether an algorithm expects their news to hold your attention.
Someone you care about might post a few sentences about their week and get very little response. That doesn't make the post unimportant to you. TouchGrass builds your feed around the people you follow and befriend, without an engagement ranking deciding whose life deserves a place.
You can still find a book, a place or someone interesting through a friend's recommendation. The difference is that you know who is recommending it. Their taste and experience give you something to go on, and you decide whether to follow the lead.
