I hear this a lot, but I don't get it because the user is entirely responsible for who they follow and thus the messages they're exposed to.
I prune my Twitter feed and keep it pretty slim. I follow people who I find interesting. If they don't turn me off, I continue following them. If they do, I cut them. The turbulence in my Twitter feed remains moderate as a result.
You can always come back to someone, too, after a particular controversy has blown over or something. But my point is it's all in the user's hands how out-of-control Twitter feels. Simply don't follow people who make it miserable.
My concern with Twitter became reality when news media started using tweets as part of coverage.
Between APIs, bots and selective coverage it creates an ability to amplify messages as if they are representative of public opinion. Look at the services that will sell followers as an example.
I look at Twitter less than once a month but because of coverage (like the above article) I know about all sorts of stuff that’s happening on Twitter.
Twitter curates content and pretend to be neutral the way you said.
They push politics and constantly push you away from content you like. So everyone is disappointed and angry but thinks they enjoy it and some people think it’s all up to users.
