I choose people to follow. If somebody is flooding my feed more than I like, then I unfollow them. Truly do not understand why anyone would want it to work differently other than marketers.
- jeffbee 5y agoBut it's not spam. If fifty people you follow retweet the same popular post, you do not want to see it fifty-one times. You want to see it once, and you want it ranked highly because everyone you follow thinks it's an important post. It's a form of crowdsourcing from a curated group of contributors. The chonological view cannot accommodate.
- mulmen 5y agoThat’s more of a problem with Twitter’s design. I don’t want to see any “retweets”. If someone I care about replies to something then (optionally!) show me their reply. If I find that compelling I can follow the primary source. I do not care about regurgitated content.
- baggy_trough 5y agoAgain, I’ll control that by curating my own follow set. I don’t need some algorithm to crowdsource for me. That’s the last thing I want.
