I don't have to because I just use the "following" tab? I only see people I follow. Really don't get the point of this service

  i like the for you page since i can discover fresh/new work from others. otherwise how would i get to the point of following someone? (excluding when you find the person's account on an external site) but i feel you, the following tab is definitely a healthier/more controllable space

    For years before the algorithm-generated pages were defaulted, you would find new accounts organically—through retweets and conversations. I still do it that way, better to do a (very) slow roll and build up a network slowly than to follow the accounts Twitter's algorithm thinks I should follow (IMHO).

    Your "following" feed contains content liked or retweeted/replied to by people you follow. At least, it used to -- since likes went private I'm not sure that you see this any more.
