Of course it would be inefficient, the Internet is not a broadcast medium !
Which is why AFAIK typically the only thing that is pushed (in large scale applications) is the existence of a message (and maaaybe a short title), your "followers" then pull the message when they want to see it. (Some of course might be big enough "fans" of you that they decide to "subscribe", and set up an "AI" to automatically pull all of your messages as soon as published.)
So it seems to be a weird strawman of a solution nobody would even try to use at large scale, or am I missing something ??
