Even the "mute words" feature on Twitter does not work. That's all anyone needs to know about how much Twitter is geared towards ramming sponsored and annoying content down our throats every time we're on it.

I just really get on in short sprints to post my own words and if there is an emerging crisis, I can hopefully search for independent (non commercial and non-partisan) comments about the issue through carefully tailored keywords.

Social media betrays and manipulates us by invalidating an removing options that work in controlling what we see on it. They start out useful, but slowly degrade once they go public.
