Which is not a technical problem and is exactly the OP's point.
- mFixman 4y agoTwitter gets bad content because Twitter promotes bad content, and that happens because Twitter's work culture prioritises engagement metrics over meaningful interactions. The underlying problem is a problem of Twitter-the-company, the actual problem of Twitter-the-product is technical and can be solved by going easier on engagement-based recommendations.
