Thanks for the link. Looking at the pictures, I probably wouldn't follow it, and I spent last summer in NYC.

The algorithm seems to have a preference for HDR pictures of cityscapes? And then the captions are all very generic / spammy sounding.

It doesn't seem interesting. I don't have anything against following algorithmic content, but it should at least tell me something cool about the picture that I didn't know, etc.

I’m not interested either, but I’m not at all surprised that there are at least 30,000 people who are interested in faux-HDR photos of NYC.

You're assuming that all 30,000 followers are actual people rather than more bots or spam accounts.
