The "For you" tab on X also takes your eyes away from the people you follow.
Ive noticed that the "For you" tab has a lot of those bot profiles that constantly post every hour that show people fighting, people dying, road accidents, cat videos etc
I believe it's meant to keep people entertained and distracted and makes you spend more time watching those profiles than interacting with real people.
X is trash, full of bots, spam and other nonsense.
