I don't follow anyone. I created a bunch of private lists with different categories like 'Techpress', 'Privacy', 'Crypto geeks', 'Motormouths', 'Funny / Memes' etc
Then if I feel like consuming memes, I will open the meme list. If I'm feeling creative and need inspiration, I may open 'Tech / Design'. It depends on how I feel. My account is also private, and I don't feel the need to chase fame or even interact with anyone. Most people don't even see that as an option they have and blindly (and publicly) interact as much as possible without considering a more private alternative.
