yesterday i unfollowed everyone on twitter to reset and test the algorithm.

my experience generally stayed the same, with a pretty high quality of signal. it will only get better, towards what tiktok was able to do.

the algorithm isn’t the problem. the problem arises when the algorithm is a black box, can’t be turned off, or can’t be replaced by another one someone else wrote.

being able to choose if an algorithm is used, and which one is used, is key. no one is done this well yet. twitter is the only one that allows a choice in the first place.

Twitter doesn't give you a choice to choose your feed algo though. Not sure what you mean.

Twitter lists is my favourite way of using the site

You can choose between only your follows or the "For You" algo

Ah, got it. I thought he meant that the 'For you' page algo itself could be changed, which is why I was confused

There is also "show less of this" but with mixed results

Oh yes, I've been using that. It's been effective for me in recent times. It used to be quite unresponsive.
