   "The use of algorithms to filter information has become the norm because chronologically presenting information from followers creates a confusing morass for the average user to process."

     If you follow someone here is because
     
     a) You are curious about them
     b) You are interested in what they have to say
     c) They might have different opinions than you but it has led to interesting discussions
     d) It's a bot that shares information you enjoy
     e) You are a Japanese user who follows out of courtesy
     f) All of above
     
     Algorithms are not beneficial to the user, they are only for the site owners and its advertisers.

     @Nudhul @hfaust I used to dissimulate a little bit about algorithmic timelines, they could be used for good instead of evil but the reality is that they all exist to force you to see shit you didn't ask for and to thereby acclimate you to ads and artificially boost your usage
