I liked Twitter before Twitter decided that advertisers and "trending topics" and virality were more important than personal curation. The out-of-order timeline with forced ads and both Likes and Replies becoming less deterministic retweets were some of the last straws for me.
It's good that ad blockers exist and they added an in-order option back after I left, but the problem remains that the defaults are still anti-curative/pro-advertiser/pro-"engagement metrics". Having such terrible defaults makes the whole social network less trustworthy, because while you might curate your feed, do the people you follow still do? Do the people they follow?
