The article isn't saying "my feed is boring", or even "my feed is full of extremists". I have a feeling the guy knows how to choose who to follow.
The problem he's raising is that at a social level, extremists voices spread much faster that sane ones because the way Twitter (and others) are built. The the tool of virality, once used for marketing, is now used to cripple down society. Sure you can pick who to follow, but as you can see from stories like pizzagate more and more people are having hard time choosing the right people to follow, and that makes our world a dangerous place.
He's not leaving Twitter because he didn't his experience. He's leaving because he thinks it's harmful to society and he doesn't want to be part of it.
