Yeah I noticed that the home timeline improved drastically literally the very first day that the layoffs started. My tweets also started getting more attention. They also used to push Euphoria (and other celeb gossip) content a lot, no matter how many related words I muted it still found a way back into my TL. All of this stopped immediately after the takeover.

I think it's pretty obvious now that the employees were spending a lot of time directly "curating" recommendations (if not just boosting their own tweets or friends tweets).
