I agree with David.
Personally, I like to follow people for their posts and if I notice someone mainly boosting, I tend to unfollow them because it leads to my feed being mainly posts that I don't follow.
When I want to find something new, I usually browse hashtags as that's separate from my feed. My main gripe with social media platforms in general is having my feed full of stuff I didn't choose to follow (ads, boosts, likes etc).
