I don't understand why we can't have both. A traditional, unfiltered feed AND a curated one, with users in control what version they want, at any time. Want to see the filtered or curated Twitter? No problem. Want to see the traditional list of tweets? Just switch to that one by clicking a tab. Now powerusers and casual users can enjoy Twitter the way they want.

Perhaps a non-curated Twitter is bad for business? Twitter and the 'Brands' benefit when the ads show up first, and not below the fold, win-win, right?. I suspect curated Twitter has higher engagement as well, so why keep the other option?
