Red line: Estimated average number of daily active users on Twitter in 2013.
Green line: About the time Twitter introduced the algorithmically sorted home timeline that users where up in arms against.
People today: Social media without algorithms just doesn't work! We have to let the ruling class control what information we receive, there's just no other choice. Deciding for ourselves, hah, so naïve!
I was extremely active on Twitter for many, many years, and I never used the algorithmic timeline, as far as I could help it. They switched you back to it a lot, and I had to manually switch again and again, but I never had any issues with the timeline I curated myself.
