I don’t understand how people use the For You feed and still stay on Twitter.

My approach to Twitter is the same as every other social media: follow accounts that i’m interested in and browse the Follows feed in chronological order, completely ignoring algo recommendations. So i’m counting on accounts i follow to either post goot stuff or retweet it, which they do. They also retweet crap sometimes, but not nearly as much as i would get in For You.
