Thank for the explanation. The consensus among those I’ve spoken to on Twitter about this is that it’s a good move. Many , including myself, were being concerned that being featured on 1,000+ lists with only 1 or 2 followers each lacked credibility. Another common concern was that individually created (non-Twibe) lists were being drowned out, so hopefully this will address that too, in time.

If Twibe generated lists had continued to look spammy, I guess the alternative for individuals would have been to laboriously remove themselves from each list, or just opt to withdraw from Twibes altogether. I’m glad that didn’t have to happen as I think this can be a useful resource.

Thanks for listening to your users – here’s to a better Twibes.
