		LiquidPolymer on March 31, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Twitter's Recommendation Algorithm On my “following” tab (on the phone app) , I’m still getting recommendations for bomb throwers I don’t follow. Am I weird? It’s like an unhinged relative. Not pleasant. Edit: I reversed “for you” and “following” in my original reply.

I sometimes get these as push notifications with my username added to them.

I find these notifications so confusing - at first glance they look like DMs or mentions to me. I don't follow these people, nor were they RT by anybody I know.

Probably lots of engagement due to that confusion though.
