Twitter Hiding my Tweets, Ignoring Support Requests.

UPDATE: It seems it is a new "Twitter feature" called "Best Tweets First" that hides tweets in some cases. Seems a good feature lol..

My Twitter Account is @thestubborndev. My tweets no more appear in the various hashtags timelines but only in my profile and to persons who are following me, making Twitter completely useless.

I asked Twitter explanations yesterday and they are ignoring me, continuing to answer other users questions on their @Support account.

Twitter does not have a chronological feed. Same as facebook. If you want to use Hashtags to be found you may want Instagram.

I know how Twitter works, thank you. I always used the chronological feed using the All Tweets/Live section. I always found my tweets there until yesterday. Now timeline just skips my tweets.

Well then Twitters algos probably concluded that you are not relevant enough. Looking at the numbers on your profile this seems likely.
