The problem is that your definition of "crap" is probably a bit different from others. Everyone probably has a slightly different definition. Also, your feed is probably mostly stuff that was posted on X first and replicated over somehow. Network effect is real.
That being said, there are clearly multiple active automated influence operations happening on X all the time. If Elon wants X to stick around, it would be in his interest to put a stop to those. The default feed is full of posts from those bots; that's also a big problem they (X) needs to fix.

Possibly. But if it reaches me anyways then there clearly was no need for me to be there. And if more people realize maybe the discussion might be able to move away from that place.

I was talking about everyone's personal definition of crap. If it has not enough velocity to leave the sphere it might be only relevant for a small community or just not relevant enough to discuss. Or something different.
My argument stands. It is okay to not be part of every discussion. A lot of people think that they must be on X to stay in touch and be informed. I am not there and I am informed enough and in touch with all the people I want. If you can't be bothered to make an account outside X then we don't need to talk.
