Paul Graham on Twitter: "Twitter changes its "Who to follow" recommendations so infrequently that I've started to view them as part of its structure. Home, notifications, messages, and Brad Feld, who likes reading books and running marathons."

  It's kind of remarkable isn't it? I really can't understand how it's not one of their top priorities.https://twitter.com/patfives/status/1298793238820724738?s=20 …

  hey @Twitter if I haven't followed the people you have repeatedly suggested for the last 8(!!) years I'm probably not going to. isn't this like one of the most important features you should focus on? how does this happen? @jack

  When you create an account, their suggested follows are particularly biasedhttps://twitter.com/lukecannon727/status/1320086830793035778?s=21 …

  Nowhere is Twitter's bias more apparent then in their "suggested follows" after you create a new account pic.twitter.com/7Rg7SsbUBe

  You'd think they'd want the data a little 'x' button could provide. They presumably have a (substantial?) recommendations team, which means they do value the data.. ; such an odd prioritization choice. @TwitterData: what's the answer?
