 that algorithim on twitter throws the most annoyingly stupid political takes at my feed, fully capatalising on argumentitive clapbacks to sell adspace in the comment section.

it seems like the less i look at twitter the dumber the takes are that come up, almost like bait 
 It's all a bait. I ended up completely deleting the app, it has become so bad with rage bating, absolutely stupid takes of people posting their nonsensical and uneducated opinions self righteously and arrogantly, a ton of violent videos, antisemitism, racism, all the junk of the web, frankly. I now see it as addiction because of the horrific algorithm, all noise - no signal, a mind capture, a pile of stinking shit where people spend hours trying to find a gold nugget in that pile while poisoning their minds with controlled narratives and giving away attention. Yikes.
