On Maven, you follow interests, not influencers. This has 3 core benefits:

A network without borders - Posts and replies are automatically connected to anyone with overlapping interests. It's like a self-organizing group chat on any interest you have.

Community without followers - Because people connect around interests, you don’t need followers to reach your community.

Serendipity without the popularity contest - Every eligible post circulates evenly, exposing more ideas to more people: no like count, no click-bait, no domination
