I just want to say that I agree with Saydrah. I try to follow users more than tags, but I do like to follow tags to make sure I'm not missing something interesting from a new user I haven't seen before, and I've unsubscribed from tags unintentionally more than once. It's not a huge deal, but it is jarring, and annoying.

I'm getting close to significantly altering the tag functionality. If/when we do, it will come with better discovery mechanisms.

There will be changes coming on this front. I think Saydrah effectively illuminated the Achilles heel of following tags.
