In some ways that's the problem with Twitter. A decade ago people used to post what they ate for lunch and any random thoughts that entered their head. It was true "microblogging". Now it's mostly politics and bots, and the service itself hasn't evolved at all to handle them.

I’ll disagree. Twitter’s default experience leans towards politics but with some effort you can curate your twitter experience to focus only on topics you care about. My feed is pretty much only about tech, programming, creators and people building products. I have learned way more from people who are sharing their knowledge on twitter than any other platform. People working with companies creating all sorts of products or value are overwhelmingly active on twitter.

You’ll have to do at least two things -

1. Train the algorithm to drop politics from your feed by actively liking content on other topics.

2. Use Lists to curate timelines on a particular topic.

After this learn to use search and mute filters well. There’s a lot to gain from twitter if you follow and interact with the right people.
