Here's a tip on how to make the best out of Twitter: unfollow anyone that makes you feel that way. Think about it, it's not Twitter per se, it's the people you follow, and that's under your control.
If you’re seeing a lot of friends-of-friends content, you might be scrolling too long or not following enough people you actually want to hear from.
I definitely filter those out.
About once every 6 months the tweets "liked" by people I follow pop up again, it's usually very noticable as the feeds quality turns down dramatically.
To get rid of those, I do the "..." > "I don't like this tweet" > "show fewer likes from XYZ" on 2 or 3 tweets, and they're all gone for another few months.
It's not ideal, a settings menu where you can disable those permanently would be far better, but it works.
