Every time I have made a twitter account, I have seen a box along the lines of "Viewing your Home feed. For the latest tweets, switch to Latest."

I think in this case it might be that you clicked through a pretty hard to miss box.

People tend to not create new Twitter accounts all the time.

It also appeared on multiple of my accounts that were made before the switch, so that also is irrelevant.

I did not. The algorithmic feed was not an option when I joined twitter. They were still basically a group sms system, and probably still running on Rails! Also I was not given the option to switch to it when it became available. They just switched everyone.

It also appeared on multiple of my accounts that were made before the switch, so this hypothesis also seems wrong.
