Many of you pointed out code that boosts likes, retweets and other Tweet attributes (image URL, hashtags, trending topics, etc). This turned out to be old and unused so we’ve deleted it.

Can you not recommend me tweets from people that have nothing to do with my interests? Or at least give me a reason they show up?
