“Curate your feed, because your feed will curate you.” X/Twitter is a mass of useful information, in amongst spam, scams, and low-grade engagement farming. Optimize your experience!

Be ruthless. If an account regularly posts junk, unfollow them. Actively search out sources of good information.

The algorithm serves you more of what you like and spend time on, so getting side-tracked with engagement farming posts can become a worse and worse problem.
