I rarely look at it anymore, but when I do it usually seems broken in quite varied ways; recently for instance, the linear feed was only showing retweets. The algorithmic feed has always, IMO, been kinda useless, but it's just _nonsense_ now.

A surprising amount of the algorithmic feed seems to be accounts that repost TikTok and reddit stuff.
