Twitter launches Default Following Feed Option on Web
People are getting sick of Twitter pushing all the algorithmically recommended tweets into the home feed. Quite irritating.
If you are facing the same problem, then you are not alone. The home timeline, now called ‘For You,’ is where Twitter tries to boost engagement by showing you more tweets than you might like.
Meanwhile, the recent addition of a side-swipe away ‘following’ feed has emboldened it to push even more content across the app into your main display. But now, you can avoid it, at least on the web.
Yes, from now on, your Twitter feed will default to either ‘for you’ with recommendations or ‘following’. Now you can see the latest tweets from the people and the profiles you can follow in the app.
Now, for users like you, it is a welcome update. But, some people are not sure that it will work in twitter’s favour too.
