I don't use Twitter. The Tweets I see when I click this link are 80% political shitflinging from one side of US politics (even the replies to each one are 100% one-sided), and 20% non-political. Why?

Twitter attempts to manipulate your emotions by showing you controversial things to keep you looking at ads as long as possible, just like every other social media company.
Because that’s estimated to maximise the chance of you signing up?
