I'm more after the middle ground, and that is pretty broken (twitter's fault)

The problem is that accounts post a mix of content and I only want a subset. Mostly it's about what I don't want, food pics, family & vacation photos, memes... that's not why I'm on twitter. Unfortunately, their feedback mechanisms are woefully awful and cannot seem to grasp this concept, or basic user preference.

You can mute keywords or phrases.

I do and am (un)pleasantly surprised how they find interesting ways to get by them... it's pure text matching rather than regexp or semantics based. But still, this is limited to textual content, and they will still show you the tweet because of the reply or quote tweet...

however, I cannot say, "don't show me photos of food, family, and vacations" I've tried to say these tweets are not relevant, but they still push the same garbage to me

The hard part is when you're interesting in some things they say, but not others.
