But that's contradictory to your claim that Twitter is
what you want it to be, based on who you follow, isn't it?
What? It's not contradictory in the slightest.
Nobody is claiming that Twitter would somehow magically somehow continue "be what you want it to be" if most of the quality contributors leave.
Because Twitter _isn't_ what you claim it is.
Twitter is optimized for outrage-oriented engagement.
I have a few accounts and I simply don't see what you describe.
I don't follow or engage with controversial crap. My follows are people in my hobbies, and funny people. My feed is pretty close to 100% strife-free.
Either it's really easy to avoid the hellscape of outrage that you describe or I'm extremely lucky/talented.
Good point. Although, I don't think it's the case: mine's essentially zero.
Don't misunderstand: I've seen that stuff on Twitter. I've reported a few people. And political topics and other controversial topics are absolutely rife with it. I do not excuse it in any way.
