Follow lists are the solution to the problem of finding some particular subset of items (in this case, npubs) within a very large set. A set the size of "all Twitter users" or "all Instagram users", for example.
They are a solution to a problem we do not have.
Our problem is the opposite:
We have lots of disparate data sets and need to find particular items somewhere in them.
