> algorithmically generated feeds based on engagement

This is one thing that really gets me.

Your feed is based on engagement. It doesn't have to be GOOD engagement, just engagement.

So when you angrily reply to a tweet you hate, that's engagement. You will be shown more content that makes you angry.

Most of the things people complain about in terms of what Twitter shows them, I don't experience. I don't follow people I hate, and if someone quote-tweets, I avoid replying. Definitely don't click the original tweet to see what other people have said.
