to the top of your feed... from people you don't even follow?
I've noticed this accelerate over the past week or so, as if the algorithm was changed for the upcoming midterm elections.
Every time I go to Twitter now, 7 to 8 of the first 10 tweets in my feed are from left-wing pundits and politicians I *don't* follow, with a caption that says "followed by [someone you follow]"...
For example, a tweet from Nancy Pelosi because she's "followed by Matt Gaetz" (who I follow). And yet, none of Matt Gaetz's tweets are in my feed, only the Dems he happens to follow (because they're colleagues).
It's crazy because the net effect is that the majority of tweets in my feed are now left-wing propaganda of people I don't follow or care about.
Clearly the algorithm was changed recently to amplify left-wing talking points heading into the midterms.
It's brazen manipulation by Twitter. They aren't even trying to make it subtle.
Elon needs to gain control of the platform ASAP so he can replace its staff and developers with people who aren't partisan activists.
