I think there was a brief time with algorithmic feeds were actually good, and I remember getting quite a few recommendations from news aggregators and the like which actually were of interest to me, but those days are long gone. These days… no.
Odd example here, but bear with me: I have a separate Twitter account just for following *ahem* adult content. Even before Elno bought them out the “For You” section was completely nonsensical. I followed nothing but adult artists and performers showing T&A, and every 8th entry in my “For You” feed was Sports or Politics or rage-bait in general. It wasn’t what I wanted, it was what Twitter wanted me to want.
