Looking at the “regular” Twitter feed seems as dangerous for one’s productivity as looking at Facebook’s feed. Market incentives require Twitter to make their users spend as much time as possible on their platform (using the best ML models they can train for that purpose).
A safer way to use Twitter is to create a very short list of Twitter accounts (the accounts with the largest EV/tweet), and then regularly going over the complete “feed” of just that list—sorted chronologically (not giving Twitter any say in what you see).
