All I see is retro computers, math, and concept art.

You can find terrible things anywhere, you can watch Jordan Peterson instead of 3blue1brown if you want to, but that's really up to you.

“up to you” … But is it really? Isn’t that the question?

Reminds me of a line by Ken Kesey:

If you’ve got it all together, what’s that all around it?

Well, we could argue about the filter bubble and algorithmic amplification, which can be (and often are) terrible things -- however, as it stands right at this moment, as far as the individual is concerned, you can still, mostly, choose what you see -- the algorithm will just show you more of whatever you clicked, rather than trying to steer you to something.

The Algorithm is still arguably a terrible detriment to society at large, but I think one can still find use in twitter and see very little of what one doesn't want to see. That may cease to be true sometime, perhaps even soon, but it works at the moment if you are judicious with who you follow.
