I've noticed zero difference as a too-frequent daily user. In fact, Twitter seems more fun now. Plus, community notes are sorely needed. In addition to all that, I'm also seeing an uptick in activity on my business account.
I assumed this was how it would go for me too, but after the change to elevate tweets and replies by blue check accounts I actually stopped using it because now, every time I look at it, it's just an orgy of the dullest and most ignorant and intellectually dishonest people in the world posting the worst crap I've ever seen. Last time I checked twitter.com the tweet at the top of my timeline was somebody "questioning" whether a recent mass shooter's multiple tattoos of nazi iconography could reasonably be interpreted to mean that he was in fact some flavor of neo-nazi. And so on and so forth.
I don't follow any of these fucking people! and I don't want to see this shit. It's absolutely soul-draining.
I'm sure there are plenty of people who'll say I'm using Twitter wrong, blah blah, whatever. I don't really care—all I know is I was enjoying using it in the way its UX encouraged me to use it and now it's horrible and I've stopped, probably for good. I do wonder how many others had/are having a similar experience.
Regardless, welcome to the real world. It’s not so bad sometimes. :)
Then change the option at the top of your timeline from “For You” to “Following” to only see posts from people you follow. Voila, now you get decent content that’s of interest to you.
Using this is way makes it like an RSS feed.

If I never saw one as a daily user, they didn't exist, or didn't work.
It's way worse now. It may be less content. Or it's showing me less relevant content. Or it may be due to eurovision apperatly dropping hashtags from onscrean promotion.
But the end result is, it's worse.
The hiring of a mass media ad-exec seems to support the validity of those rumors.
