I started using Twitter very early, in 2006, and was fun for a while. But I don't remember exactly when the timeline and recommendation changes totally ruined it.
Apart from
the main timeline they used to only show tweets from people you follow liked which was OK, at least acceptable. I still see these time
to time but became selective? I see it from some accounts but not all. A person I follow stopped tweeting and I thought something happened but alas they are still active liking tweets but I don't see those anymore on my timeline, yet I see from other accounts... for whatever reason
Then they started showing random tweets from people you follow follow. That's when I started to use the site less and less because most of the time my interaction was clicking on "not interested in this Tweet". Totally out of context stuff I don't care about.
Final nail in the coffin was the topics. Just randomly filling your timeline with random tweets because I assume some AI thought I might like that but it's worse than the Youtube recommendations. Just because I like ONE Tweet the AI started promoting everything related to that content or the account made it.
It's just a mess. Wish we can "reset" our accounts or something to blank state
- pjc50 5y agoThere is a button in the top right of the timeline to switch to "latest tweets". Everyone I know hates "top tweets" (algo timeline) as well.
