Makes sense. Would it be technically possible for a more privacy-focused client to seed queries with a few random requests? For example, add a few random npubs to a follow list query. The client then discards the random data received before serving the followed feed to the user. This might be analogues to padding techniques used in VPN protocols to evade DPI.
