> and there's what feels like a lot of algorithmic optimization of engagement going on. Finding interesting and informationally accurate accounts to follow is a bit of a struggle, but once you do it's not too bad. I doubt it was drastically different in the past. I have never been able to use Twitter without this being dropped blatantly on my face. You can't go straight to a Twitter user's profile and read their own messages in a meaningful manner, let alone the main feed or search feed. And don't get me started on the threads and the arcane magic necessary to follow them completely.
