I think part of the algo was authors trying to make more tweets diminish their visibility so there's a limit to how many tweets per day they can do on their page before it gets nerf. The rationale was trying not to flood a follower's feed with their recent posts and give way to other posts. I understand this idea. I've unfollowed some hivers in the past because they posted often and used the platform like twitter, not their fault just not the right visibility meant for Hive.

Why wouldn't you let people decide themselves though? Why does someone need to intervene, maybe some like the spam from one account, etc.
I've done the same on hive if they reblog spam or post too often and here it's public, they can track when someone unfollows you and maybe reflect on what they may have done to cause it.

They could decide for themselves, it just takes a few more steps if they really wanted to try. But I think twitter is more like a few minute peek or a doom scroll session that tries to hook you into spending more time in the app and the algo tries to push posts with more engagement thinking it's interesting so that you'd stick longer to check out what that interesting is then multiple by few more similar posts based on your behavior just enough to make it a worthwhile scrolling session.
I follow artists and cosers there, and I don't have the time to see each of the daily posts OR have the memory to remember all names. And I may not have the time to discover other content creators showcasing my similar preferences so the algo does me a favor by shoving me content I might like and more than half the time, it works. The algo's way may not be your type but it's working for those belonging to the middle of the bell curve, for now.
