I honestly can’t work out if I’m arguing with a bot or not. There is literally a single solution: the main stream is purely a stream of tweets from who you follow. I realise this is an existential threat to machine learning engineers who just love to build recommender systems, but that’s it, that’s all it is.
- recuter 4y agoDude that is exactly how it works in most Twitter clients. On the website you click on "Lists" and curate away, no ML or recommender systems are involved. Most people don't bother, they sign up and follow JK Rowlling or whatever and she tweets once a year or something so there's nothing to show you so it treats her as a subject not an individual. Bad UX and terminology for sure but most of the complaints are not about that. Do you also get mad at reddit for whatever the hell the weirdos post in the default sub-reddits when you login?
