Do you find if you mute liberally you then need to be more proactive in finding good critics? One reason to not mute/block, in my experience, is they act as the limit of your “personal Overton window” and help be a bit more open to the reasonable stuff

To the extent I need it, twitter is definitely not a place I look for it
