Is it bad manners to unfollow someone?

Hi everyone. Here is a concern I'm having. (see at the end.. first some introduction)

I love reading blog posts from many people on Wealthy Affiliate. That's why I'm following over 100 people already.

However, I'm getting some 50 emails per day mentioning new blog posts.

At first I tried to read them all, but I just can't keep doing that. So I need a way to tune down the stream of emails I'm getting.

I don't want to disable these emails because I don't see any other way of keeping up to date with the latest posts. The activity dashboard seems to mix up the 'latest posts' at random, and I can't sort there, so that doesn't work for me.

So, how to filter?

Some blog posts are more interesting to me than others. This is personal preference and does not mean that I find some posts badly written. It's just that some posts and writing styles resonate more with me than others.

Yesterday I started unfollowing some people to bring down the number of blog posts that I 'have' to read every day. (minor case of OCD??)

I don't even know if they got a message that I unfollowed them, but if that happened: don't feel bad that I unfollowed you :-) I can't and won't say anything bad about your posts!

Now here is my question:

Is it considered bad manners to unfollow someone?
