I'll never understand this style of social media. Facebook I hate, but kind of get, hearing from people you know. Reddit, was just a big message board. But twitter and its copy cats have zero appeal to me. Following people is just a creepy concept for me.
It used to be really useful for following news and companies. I work in DevOps, and I used to follow AWS, Microsoft, Google, Cloudflare, etc. then I added some Sony/Playstation follows for games and such and it was super handy to see product announcements, downtime status updates for cloud computing platforms, etc.
Then my feed got filled with “you might like” instead of what I was trying to follow, so I switched to a command line “only pull my follows” script and now with the API stuff that’s just useless so I gave up.
Following random celebs and people you don’t know, on the other hand), always seemed creepy.
Even that I'd rather sub to a subreddit or something. And the comments below a post are so terrible, since they are algorithm driven instead of votes.
Facebook is not even that anymore. It’s just a stream of algorithmically suggested posts right now.
Twitter started out just following people you know, then famous people got into the mix, then you got to cuss out the POTUS, then Elon bought it and it tanked.
Zuck seems to think that Twitter is just a Facebook feed of famous people when no, your friends were there too.
