It's all about who you follow. Thats who you can enjoy watching in your 'following' home feed and who you can filter on explore. If you follow them, we figure you care about where they are and what they're up to.

Following and followers counts are now displayed on your personal profile, making it easy to tap the count and manage the lists. 

Remember! These following & follower counts are only visible to you as a tool, not others viewing you.
