Since the day twitter introduced their algorithmic timeline, they kept the option around to watch your feed chronologically. So the big "what if" of this articles headline is just "what if I just use twitter the way I could since it's inception".

Instead, rather than an algorithmic filter bubble, the author want a human-imposed filter bubble. So much better.
