"They'd rather show me what they think I want to see, rather than what I actually want to see."

I think it's actually that they'd rather show you what they want you to see, rather than what you actually want to see. This includes promoted content.

I'd agree in part. Outside of promoted content, they also try to force "things I might have missed" on me. I never want to see this. I browse in chronological order and will see it without their "help".
I'd be happy with a feed that is in chronological order, even with ads & promoted tweets, so log as it does not include:

- "what I missed"

- follow recommendations

- the likes of who I follow - show me their retweets, not their likes
