Agreed. They kind of just overthought the experience to try to game engagement and clicks. Chronological should be the default, anything else should be up to the user but I know that doesn't quite make money for the apps the same way...

TIL priority inbox is trying to keep me in Gmail longer.

I could understand feeding people rage-bait content as a method of false engagement but these are people you followed. Most liked/boosted/retweeted among the people you want updates from seems ideal.
