Why do some serious "power users" add so many unknown observations?

I wonder if the ability to easily “unfollow” a batch of unknowns one has just given coarse IDs would ease this issue? Then one would never see any notifications that a comment has been left, polite or otherwise. Unless of course they get so amped up that they just have to send you a personal message about it…

If I give something a coarse ID it’s because I have no idea what it is at lower levels, and so I really won’t miss knowing when someone else has given it a finer ID.

I had thought so, too, and created a Feature Request for it: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/create-option-to-choose-automatic-follow/94
