That. I never understood the usefullness of twitter anyway so i won't find Threads usefull either
It's because you don't idolize celebrities and other famous figures enough to know what they do daily.
There were a lot more people on Twitter than pop culture celebrities.
In pretty much any field you can think of, some of its leading figures would be on there. Economics, urbanism, tech, astronomy, game developers, journalists, fan communities of essentially any creative work, communities for marginalized identities, pretty much any interest was well-represented there.
Garbage in, garbage out. I use(d) Twitter to follow a bunch of high profile Machine Learning and Software Engineering professionals, and my (non algorithmic) feed was rather useful and informative.
Yeah, I feel tabloid stuff gets pushed to me from everywhere, why should I go looking for more of that.
It was great for artists and scientists. My twitter feed was mainly filled with paleoartists and paleontologists bickering about the fullness of t rex lips and I sorely miss it.
I'm using Mastodon these days, and while not everyone from Twitter is there, bird.makeup fills the gap enough that it gives me a pretty similar experience.
