= Social media feed that forces you to see posts by non-followed
During the early 2020s, many of the idiotic social media platforms started adding a non optional "feature" of suggesting feed posts by people you don't follow:
* <Twitter>: TODO forgot year
* <LinkedIn>: 2023

OK, set "Most recent posts" on "Feed preferences" and it seems to work.

It must have been some A/B testing overload that made that decision to try and make things more addictive for everyone. Or perhaps as a way to drive revenue with people paying to cheat the algorithm and boost their posts.
