I wholeheartedly agree. It's also more addictive than Facebook or Instagram, and (for me at least) it's a more negative mental experience. Probably because of all the dopamine.
I don't remember it being like this in the beginning. Not sure if it was because I wasn't hooked on it yet, or because they changed their algorithms. Also, since Trump in 2015, it went even more downhill pretty fast. I am pretty sure they intentionally made it such that you get angry at "the other side" - it was so easy to do that with Trump.
Anything designed to "increase user engagement" is actually effectively spiking emotions as much as possible. It's a much bigger problem than anyone currently realizes.
