Seems like a lot of work and a lot of side effects just to induce it to go way overboard and do a crappy job of showing me something maybe a bit closer to what I want. How about if I just don’t visit the site unless I want something specific, and then I use search to find it?
I spend very little effort optimizing my feed and I get to see a bunch of interesting stuff, have fun conversations with friends, and make new ones.
As an addendum to the post, I note that I unlocked a lot of fun on twitter when I realized I can treat it as a messaging platform for my friends, or basically anyone I want to talk to. This realization happened after meeting @Croissanthology and seeing his (its?) fearless use of @ and total rejection of algorithmically curated feeds.
