I already have a large follow list thanks to bad habits when I first joined Nostr. This is a simple tool to trim users who don't add anything to my feed. Nostr has an incredibly high rate of people who join for a short time and never return, so it makes sense to me. If they return and are worth following, I'll find them again. I'm not worried about digital collections of people, be it who I follow, or who follows me.
I also run my own web of trust relay. Users that haven't been around in a while aren't maintaining their follow list, and this affects who is allowed to post notes to my relay. This helps manage that as well.
