I just proved your point down below. You don't like voting, do you? Also, it's advertisers that stay away, and it's X challenging them in court over it. The world is getting weirder by the day. Do you have an uncle that can't stop ranting and calling people names? People just leave his presence. That behavior is just the worst and we're not born to suffer it, passively. That's the whole point of the free speech fallacy. Now the shouters are in power, so they can pour their trauma down our throats, as if this were some therapy. No, it's just abuse and it's perverse. That's why people leave X. They have a target on their back.

You literally have a "Following" tab where you can have a timeline for only people you care about. You also have both a mute & a block button. Any platform focused on news & politics will have people fighting & insulting each other, learn to deal with it. Advertisers have left as part of a concerted pressure campaign to bring back censorship. This effort has been coordinated by NGOs that ironically receive funding by the US Gov't as part of their mis/dis/malinformation playbook in order to keep in check populist political movements that may undermine the State Department's interests. As soon as Elon sued GARM, it broke apart, and I bet the Trump admin will target NewsGuard and kill it as well.

  You've been duped. Your information environment sounds very narrow, and you may be over valuing information from people who are politically similar (I believe some people call this an "echo chamber", but I'm not fond of that term.) Strongly recommend you take steps to interrogate your inputs more critically. Or at least change the way you present, because you come across as quite dogmatic and zealous, like a flat earther.
