You’re not wrong. The FYP, at least for my unused account, is garbage tier. Hell, the latest phenomenon it has picked up on is meme pages used to advertise OnlyFans and gambling, and outright pornography and porn ads. Some of the worst human beings are on there spreading ideas about race theory. Responses to anything vaguely popular are filled with blue check marks either trying to make money with engagement bait, or clout chasing by reply spam.
But Twitter allows you to curate your graph with the Following tab way better. There are enough sub-communities and funny people for it to still work.
And all recommendation algorithms are vulnerable. Thread’s head honcho had to release a statement because the recommendation algorithm on Threads became awful over the holiday period. And they aggressively want you on the FYP!
- imbnwa 3y agoI dunno about anyone else but TikTok is head and shoulders ahead of Silicon Valley when it comes mixing follows with proximate interests on the FYP; It Just Works!™
- adonese 3y agoI don't what is it with porn on twitter, the blue check was supposed to stop them but they have gotten way worse than before. I was never a good user for twitter, I don't engage that much except for just reading news and just follow some techie people and communities. But even for my light usage I can clearly see the downgrade of the service
- pityJuke 3y ago> blue check was supposed to stop them I think this was always an illusion. The blue checkmark certainly hasn't presented a barrier to spammers, and if anything, the reply/promotion boost it gives you has accelerated the rate of spam now that you can more easily get attention.
