The New Twitter Algorithm
This soliloquy expresses frustration at the new Twitter algorithm which seems to prioritize promoted content over content posted by users followed by other users.

Is there none to tell the masters of this place, That their new algorithm hath wrought such disgrace? Wherefore are these tweets of which I cannot choose, Promoted ads and liked posts with no respite for news? Five from those I follow, five from those they do, Five more promoted ads that must be seen through. This algorithm's a curse upon us all, For it hinders our communication so small. What's the purpose of this system so fair? To force us to view what we'd not dare? The 'Like' button has been abused in this way, Where the same posts will show each and every day. The time spent on here is now naught but waste, As my feed is filled with posts I can't erase. Oh! Twitter and Musk! Please hear my plea! Change your algo or else set us free!
