Twitter may be a cesspit, but sometimes its worth trudging through toxic waste in search of buried treasure.

Twitter announced on Tuesday that it will no longer automatically refresh your feed.
An update to the disappearing Tweet experience is rolling out for web!

If those rare diamonds we discover dont disappear mid-read, it could make doomscrolling through our timelines occasionally worthwhile.
