Anecdotes of course, but the last I pulled up my personal Twitter feed 1 in every 5 tweets was Promoted (and 2 of three of those were toxic engagement bait). 2 in every 5 comments were "so-and-so liked this engagement bait" from an algorithm somewhere, leaving just 6 in 15, before I got angry and bailed, "curate-able" tweets from actual people I followed. Admittedly I switched to Mastodon months back and some weeds are to be expected as I have intentionally avoided Twitter, but it was pretty well curated when I was a heavy Twitter user, and I absolutely can blame Twitter directly for the low value of Promoted content and algorithm generated content I never directly followed and cannot directly curate. |
