yesterday i unfollowed everyone on twitter to reset and test the algorithm.
my experience generally stayed the same, with a pretty high quality of signal. it will only get better, towards what tiktok was able to do.
the algorithm isn’t the problem. the problem arises when the algorithm is a black box, can’t be turned off, or can’t be replaced by another one someone else wrote.
being able to choose if an algorithm is used, and which one is used, is key. no one is done this well yet. twitter is the only one that allows a choice in the first place.
