Too bad this isn’t the default setup for Twitter! I’d actually use the silly thing in that case

It looks pretty much the same as twittering.el - the Emacs package that lets you tweet from your editor. So if you enjoy that kind of aesthetics, the Church of Emacs extends its invitation ;).
The frustrating part is that even when you change your settings in Twitter to show most recent tweets, it goes back to top tweets in a day or two.
Mine will stick sometimes for weeks or maybe even months. I think it switches when they push out an update, it's totally unpredictable when it will happen. At least on iOS, it usually notifies me that it's switched so I know I need to switch it back.
Is there a TweetDelete like service that resets this setting regularly?

I realize it shouldn’t be necessary. I’ve mostly stopped using Twitter, but I ask out of curiosity.

I'm not aware of one. As @eyelidlessness pointed out in the comment above, it seems to change back randomly, so I think it would be hard to detect when it changes.
