Yup, it is wild. I can't be 100% sure that it is malicious intent. I highly doubt that I fit that profile; 99% of the accounts I follow and engage with are design, art, tech, and dev.

Maybe this is my simple interpretation. You have shared info you are nationality X. Twtr knows that outrage fuels engagement. Content Y allows for this to happen, and increase retention based on what others who are X have reacted previously. Perverse incentives.
