Hopefully this helps others, because I see these complaints often about Twitter (and about Reddit too, shocking number of tech-minded people just read the front page and get mad at it!).

These types of posts fall under what I call the "self-improvement bait" umbrella, including the Tesla accounts here, since they are so weird and monomaniacal about Tesla and $TSLA and Elon.

Several months ago I simply started blocking anyone who posts using their strange marketing cadence, because they're all the same really. They are so easy to spot within 4 or 5 words.

I cannot express just how much my feed improved after doing this. Of course, new accounts trying to bandwagon on this trend do pop up, but again, just block them and move on.
