Yes. Over the last few months I've noticed increasingly political content from accounts I do not and would not follow. My feed used to be mostly upbeat, a mix of technical posts, lighthearted humor, and the occasional news story. News on my feed came from real people, not news accounts, as I've blocked just about every corporation on the app.

What I've noticed lately is more fringe personalities coming up on my feed, and several times I went into the replies just to see if anyone I followed was interacting with the post. Many times, the tweet was recommended just because Elon Musk replied to it. I used to follow him so it makes sense, but I am confused for two reasons: one, this happened far less in the past, and two, Twitter used to IDENTIFY why a tweet showed up in my timeline with a label (ex: "Elon musk replied to this") but those labels do not show up anymore.

Twitter used to be a place for real people and real news. It's becoming more and more of an echo chamber every day.
