I mostly follow people who work in/around my specific engineering niche and it's amazing for that and really the only way that I stay in contact with them. It's a lot like reddit, you can stick with the terrible default subreddits or unfollow them and branch off on your own journey. That could be a positive one, news-flush, or maybe you go for the redpill. But you do control who you follow. It also leads to me getting breaking news before it's even put out, whether that's political news, or an OSS project launching something new, etc. I've learned a LOT following lawyers/professors/historians/scientists/engineers over the last year. But now I need to go in and clear out the accounts that aren't really bringing anything positive into my life. I basically treat Twitter as the millennials Linkedin and I stay far as possible from Linkedin now.
