I find Twitter really annoying to use now, since they made it so all of the replies from blue checkmark accounts get boosted to the top of the feed. I have to scroll past all of them just to find "normal" comments. The BlueBlocker browser extension is helping, but it can only block 1 account approximately every 15 seconds, or it triggers a rate limit and I have to sign-in to Twitter again.

- cubefox 3y agoYou forgot to notice that Twitter has a pure chronological timeline now without any algorithmic recommendations. Surely that will outweigh people with blue checkmarks in the replies.
