I think you can get all of these benefits plus more by just creating Twitter lists. Ignore the "follow" feature/bug & the home screen all together.

I would even suggest unfollowing everyone on your list but if to many people did that it would probably cause Twitter to make huge changes because their whole ecosystem seems to be about "Followers" & "Likes" & "Retweets". Whatever content can generate that. In fact here's a list of abused tweets in the tech world - https://twitter.com/jamonholmgren/status/1423036069189099520

I’ve been using lists for the last few years and I keep waiting for the day when Twitter deploys a change that ruins them. No ads, tweets in reverse chronological order, it’s the only Twitter experience that’s palatable for me.

Agreed! Though you did just mention one 3 letter word feature I never like to promote as I am amazed it still exists.
