Incidentally i hate the new redesigns of everything to have black and white buttons only. I end up constantly double pressing them because i never know which one is pressed. Same with youtube. Whoever started this trend should be fired.

I think their previous design was counter intuitive and we just got used to it. The changes they made actually makes more sense to new users.

For example. In the past, they used filled buttons to indicate unselected option (like follow button). Now it's filled when you are already following.

Here is the buttons i see now: https://i.imgur.com/eNcYkIM.png

i dont see the pattern

I just joined twitter a month ago, after seeing their redesign, and deciding to follow a person I heard on a podcast. Never could make heads or tails of the old UI, and I thought it was ugly as sin to boot. The new interface seems like a massive improvement to me.
I think it's intended to push people into the premium version where you can customize your button color
