Its definitely a lot worse now, but at its peak twitter algorithm worked pretty well, not that I ever used it, always did the standard chronological, but I wasn’t following 100s of accounts anyway.
Had to setup RSS again now, but its not the same as it used to be, harder to find decent blogs with the news/updates I want that support RSS.
Then that’s great for you. Setup RSS and you are away.
But not everyone has their own website/blog and they use twitter instead.
