>The feed is chaotic & no guarantees people (and by extension, Topics) whom you followed will show up primarily. Seeing a machine learning thread between a Barbie post & scantily clad influencer is bizarre.

I follow some local weather sources. The algorithm decided that I'm really big into weather and started feeding me weather sources in other cities. Thanks, Threads. Good job trying to guess what I want instead of just listening to what I've clearly opted into.

I'll never figure out why it turned my entire feed into NBA players and teams, I didn't follow a single one. I had to mute dozens of accounts to get it to show me something else. I actually found it kind of entertaining though, they could make the mute button a little more satisfying and then you'd have a game there.
