The problem is not that other people have political thoughts, it's that this despicable platform constantly tries to push them in your face even if you're not interested in them with things like the algorithmic timeline (that "accidentally" re-enables itself every so often) and showing tweets from people you don't follow.

I think the problem with current recommendation systems is lack of user's ability to customize them. I don't like youtube's algorithm either.
However, I do not want to just tell them what I like and let them indulge my addictions forever and put me into some sort of echo chamber.
Recommendation is hard.

This is a feature - the point is that if you were able to fully customize the recommendation algorithm you'll end up opting out of all the bullshit the platform wants you to "engage" with.
