I find that my best recommendations have come from seeing what users I follow are watching. However, because there is as far as I know no way to expand the “recent friend activity” section, I’ve been finding that if I follow too many people I end up missing lots of stuff.
Would it be feasible to add a “hide from friend activity” button that would hide certain friends’ activities from that section the same way shows can be hidden from calendar view? I don’t necessarily want to unfollow them since I still want to be able to manually go view their comments and ratings, but I don’t need to see what they’re watching on a daily basis.
