> The day after the invasion, I was flabbergasted by how much people don’t give a sht. My Twitter feed was (and still is) people announcing their new ventures, doing their usual marketing, posting their vacay pics etc.

Your Twitter feed reflects your active choices in who to follow and what to interact with. My Twitter feed has been largely dominated with the invasion since it occurred (though there are a couple other things that are also notable still).

Valid point, but the lack of empathy among the people I follow is concerning.

Your feed reflects you. If you find it concerning, then you need to make a change in who you follow.

I've seen people complain about YouTube for example - they eventually realize that what YouTube recommends is what they watch. If they want better recommends, they need to watch different things.

I'm not sure how Twitter works, but for YouTube it's not like their recommendation system is a perfect user-friendly algorithm.

While it is your choice what to click, what you end up watching is a result of the interplay between you and what is recommended to you and if the recommendation system was different, both what you click and the resulting feed would be different as well

Experimented with this on YouTube. My recommendations are exactly the things that I watched.

In fact I got kind of bored because I wanted something new and different, instead I just get more videos of exactly the same type.

If I stop watching a certain kind of video it eventually stops showing up on the recommendations.
