I don’t get why people complain about the content they get on Twitter. Curate carefully who you follow, only follow people who stick to a topic of interest and don’t intermix pics of their dinner or other random BS.

Then change the option at the top of your timeline from “For You” to “Following” to only see posts from people you follow. Voila, now you get decent content that’s of interest to you.

I follow a few folks writing on war in Ukraine, but since maybe Nov-Dec they all disappeared from page, and I have to go all the way to the bottom of the barrel to see anything tangentially related. Only after the algo was released I understood that was a decision by Elon, for whatever reason...

Except you know when the people I used to follow for interesting content abandoned the platform in all the turmoil.

If there’s no one on Twitter you find worth following, then of course don’t use it anymore.

yeah except now when you do that (which I have), you get a list of boosted blue checks under every tweet that are just banal and dumb.
