Any of the algorithmic timelines are generally horrible, agreed.

I follow only people who tweet and retweet reasonable things. I use the timeline with content only from the people I choose to follow ("Latest"), and don't follow lunatics. This is a fairly nice experience, but needs a curated list of people to follow, building of which needs a while.

The only way I can stomach Twitter is using a browser extension that removes retweets and likes from others, and recommended stuff from Twitter. Also removed the Trending/News area, and the Explore tab. Added a chronological timeline back too, but really don't use it much, and feel a lot better for it.

I don't think it's even necessarily about who you follow, there's a lot of pushing celebrities who are into this rubbish.

You should consider this approach with some caution:
