Rule #1 of any algorithmic feed is that you get more of what you interact with.

If you're the type of person who can't resist engaging with things that make you angry, algorithmic feed websites are not for you.

For people who have no problem scrolling past dumb comments and pressing the like button on things they actually want to see (a lot of people refuse to "like" on principle, to their own detriment) then Twitter is actually not a bad place.

But if you're easily triggered and you gravitate toward the things that make you angry, it's best to just stay away.

I think I am that kind of guy, to an extent. I don't always indulge - but it is always a constant temptation.

Probably why I exiled myself from FB and Twitter.
