Why is my feed suddenly filled with r/aww and tik toks reposts with 100k+ likes? Seems like this started recently.

Look at this. How did this get turned on and how do I turn it all off? I don’t see where I’m subbed to these random topics. Can I stop seeing things other people liked too?

No, you can’t They’ve done the “like” trick for awhile now, inserting one sided political tweets into feeds and claiming people you follow liked it. They never liked it

What is a “Push Poll”? According to the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR), “AAPOR defines a “push poll” as a form of negative campaigning that is disguised as a political poll. “Push polls” are actually political telemarketing Twitter = new attack vector

I few weeks ago I had a bunch of Muslim themed posts appearing all over my feed. Went into my follows and found about 10 accounts I’d never heard of that Twitter auto followed me onto. Unfollowed them and everything was back to normal.

Hahaha... I finally found a good thing about 5000 following limit. They can't auto follow me. Brillant

Best to use lists to filter for what you want and who people you want to see stuff from. The main Twitter tab is a crapshoot.

keep clicking uninterested.. turn off retweets on people , on the tweet when someone likes something i think u can click as well & chose don't show likes, dont gotta go through ure whole list, it stops auto i think after a few ppl, disappeared & feed went normal after a week
