That's actually been my experience too. I tried the antennae too for a while but that made things even worse.
It does teach you though - when Twitter pretended it was showing you the whole picture by assorting information according to its priorities - it was doing nothing of the sort.
It's one of the most cherished myths of modern times - that social media gives us the whole picture - but it is just a myth.
No one has time to see the whole picture.
