Twitter and Elon Musk's New Feed Algo

This poem is about how the new algorithm for Twitter and Elon Musk's feeds is not satisfactory for users who have to deal with too many promoted posts and posts from people they don't even know showing up in their timelines instead of posts from people they actually care about following.

Has no one told folks at @Twitter or @elonmusk Their new feed algo is CRAP? Of twenty tweets I see at a time, Only five are of those I follow, sublime. Five are promoted tweets, so annoying, Five are liked by those I follow - oh what joy! And five are of those followed by those I follow - oh boy! @elonmusk, one can’t escape seeing promoted tweets - frustrating but understandable. But I don’t want to see tweets liked by those I follow or tweets of folks followed by those I follow. Many followers just to troll them and now their idiotic tweets show in my feed. @elonmusk, To avoid this algo, switching to ‘Latest’ from ‘For you’ won't do. I follow fifteen hundred people and many tweet a lot on subjects that may not be true. The ‘For you’ timeline might be flawed but it was better than this shit.
