I dunno about anyone else but TikTok is head and shoulders ahead of Silicon Valley when it comes mixing follows with proximate interests on the FYP; It Just Works!™

I don't what is it with porn on twitter, the blue check was supposed to stop them but they have gotten way worse than before.
I was never a good user for twitter, I don't engage that much except for just reading news and just follow some techie people and communities. But even for my light usage I can clearly see the downgrade of the service

I think this was always an illusion. The blue checkmark certainly hasn't presented a barrier to spammers, and if anything, the reply/promotion boost it gives you has accelerated the rate of spam now that you can more easily get attention.
But Twitter allows you to curate your graph with the Following tab way better. There are enough sub-communities and funny people for it to still work.
And all recommendation algorithms are vulnerable. Thread’s head honcho had to release a statement because the recommendation algorithm on Threads became awful over the holiday period. And they aggressively want you on the FYP!
