Yes. I dont even use "For you". I dont even "follow" most people, just put them into a list and visit that list only. In hind sight I have been using X / Twitter like RSS for a very long time. I guess that is because coming from RSS and I dont know how Twitter work at first and I first thought why do I have all these random people on my feeds. I have lists for Software, Hardware, Politics, VCs, Economy, Art, and some other wired stuff. You can ignore 99% of Spam, bait etc and only focus on the signal.
