I liked the old way, you select your own relays and get your follows' posts only from them.
Just the idea of somebody else selecting which servers my client connects to doesn't set well with me. I would much prefer to only connect to relays that I trust. It would be trivial for a bad actor to have you interact with a CP-laden relay without you knowing.
