I feel like you don't use Twitter that much then. Because they added the whole notifications about new posts feature a while back and it's not based on who you follow and I believe famously it's like that so Musk gets more views. And I feel like my tabs get changed on a somewhat frequent basis but I've stopped using it to really keep track.

I use it all the time and I’ve never seen posts from people I don’t follow. Once again I only use the “following” tab
This is simply not true. Before Musk took over Twitter they constantly switched to the "For You" tab. Only after Musk bought it it was changed so the setting sticks. You can also change your notification settings to the old way (only people you follow, etc.).
I think you need to readvise what "simply not true" means. I gave my experience and for you someone who doesn't even know me cannot say what is or is not true about my experiences.
It's not an opinion. It was like that (Twitter), now it's not (X).

He's telling you your experience is outdated.

No, they said what I said was simply not true.

And my experience is from using the new stuff. There may be technical reasons why it wasn't sticky however in my experience it wasn't as sticky as it should be and I ended up on the crappy feed all the time.
