Also by people you follow. If he really wants do this, at least make it 'random blue tick accounts + people you follow (regardless of blue tick status)'.
Do you remember when they opened blue checkmark accounts to verify idents and promptly took money from people, didn't check id's and had rampant hilarious impersonation :P...
Is this sarcasm? If you don't think the three groups you mention are willing and able to throw money at a system that will considerably extend their reach then you have some catching up to do. If I had a budget to run influence operations I could go hog wild with $8000/month.
This seems surprisingly reasonable. The “for you” discovery system is mostly crap anyway (if you want Twitter to actually be good, one should exclusively use the “Following” view).
It does not any more. Clicking on the Following tab (or a pinned list) will keep you there between sessions. It doesn’t switch back to the algorithmic feed as it used to do.
Really? That's great news if true - I'll test for myself. Do you know when that happened? It was definitely still behaving badly a few weeks ago when I had to hack my own plugin together to override it.

"For You" was never inundated by bots / foreign influencers, that's not what this change is trying to address.
This doesn't touch any of that.
Given that, might as well attempt to monetize it.
I wonder if checking "hide" will also bar you from appearing in the "For You" page. Because otherwise it's a bit of a privacy breach.
