X is weird. Sometimes it's really useful where I see clips or good information that are very current and I would not see elsewhere. Other times it's just the same algorithmic trash. Youtube is still the most useful of all the sites I use and I use FB mainly for animal rescue and work. YT is the only one I use it daily. Right now watching printer maintenance videos while I work on prints. So many things can be learned on there. Whereas X just sort of pulls up the worst thing you could possibly see that day too quickly, like you said...
I know some people find X informative, but for me, it's just the same predictable patterns of human behavior but with a high school-like formula. People jockeying for the best ways to get connected with the cool people, the same group of morons being the loudest and lots of annoyed people who don't like "those others" for some petty reason. People getting mad at each other when someone says something mean about them.
