That’s not the default, and remember that even if you’re using the chronological feed, the people you follow, who are retweeting stuff, are largely using the non-chronological attention-driving feed. You’re still exposed to The Algorithm (TM), just less directly.

This is such a fascinating insight, I have not sufficiently considered how many people might be using the algorithmic feed.

The main problem I experienced with their 'curated' feed was that the news was so old. If I'm watching Twitter its because there is a news event happening.

So many times I'd see a tweet "Minister resigns!" and I'd think - "Another one, this is the end of the government!" only to discover Twitter has surfaced a tweet from 24 hours ago.
