Twitter’s For You interface displays not just tweets from accounts a user follows, but also material based on prior tweets they’ve liked or tweets liked by other people in their network. The functionality first appeared on iOS in January as an alternative to the Following tab before spreading to other platforms. Not everyone liked it, so Twitter updated its web and mobile applications to default to the timeline tab users had open when it was published. Yet, showing just verified accounts may result in many more promotional tweets being shown to those who want to see it.
