  There has been talk about Twitter managing your feed, so at some point, you may not see all tweets of accounts you follow.

      Yes, people really do. If your workflow works for you then great, but it's a very unusual one.

      The only thing I ever do is read my main Twitter feed. All the other tabs seem pointless to me.
