I like it. The Twitter algorithm loads up my TL with viral posts. Posts from users I actually follow just get lost in the churn. I don’t care for viral posts.

I don’t care for viral posts. I want the things I read to be informative. It doesn’t need to drive clicks or make a lot of revenue from me.
- loloquwowndueo 3y agoOn twitter i use only the “following” tab, not the “for you” one, and other than promoted posts, I only get things my direct followees posted or retweeted. Then again my list is very heavily curated - I follow fewer than 50 people and ruthlessly block accounts I find objectionable or just annoying.
- throwaway290 3y agoSame, now that they fixed it and it's no longer reset to "for you" every time the "following" tab works wonders for me.
- yardie 3y agoMy follow list is ~200. But even under following every 3rd tweet is a sponsored ad. There is still a lot more noise than signal in this new Twitter.
