(Though it's late in Chicago now, so you probably won't get an answer before morning...)
Maybe I missed something, but it looks like a user can only be interested in one thing. Are you supposed to create a new user for every interest?
How does suzie know that arizing cares about Larry Page's broken ankle? Does she know arizing outside of the network, so she knows what he's interested in, or does she only know him from the network?

So it's a thing in crypto do "decompose" a user into multiple accounts in order to protect privacy (see "coin control" etc) Ideally, a social network should work the same way... If you have multiple interests, the system should treat those as totally separate identities. Then it would be YOUR CHOICE whether or not to tie them together in some way.

Basically!

Since "arizing" is in the "profitable" column she would probably not know him. Instead, she would read his feed to see what he's about, in order to cater stories to his taste (that is my thinking anyway)
