Twitter by default will present posts using an algorithm. Things it thinks you will be more interested in, or that will generate more engagement, or that otherwise it decides on a whim to show you, will be shown to you. Things it disfavors will be dropped on the floor.
…for the purpose of following the people you follow, Twitter’s website is useless.
Twitter has “Home” mode which is the terrible thing that you’re describing, and “Latest” or “Latest tweets” mode which shows every tweet from the people you’re following, in order, and nothing else (except occasional ads), just like 10 years ago.
If you’re in “Home” mode, switch to “Latest” mode by pressing the little star icon in the top-right (in the android app), or by swiping left or right (in the iOS app), or by pressing “Latest tweets” at the top (in the desktop website). Something like that, at least as of right now, I think.
Nothing against tweetdeck and lists, just that the main Twitter website / app isn’t quite as useless as you suggest :-)
