I've just noticed the vast majority (no exaggeration) of my Twitter
(X) following consists of young women with huge backsides keen to
flaunt the goods in their profile photos. I have nothing in common
with them and I can't believe they have any interest in the subjects I
post about. WTF is going on here? Has anyone else encountered this
situation? If I was in some group on X dedicated to discussing young
women with large bums I could understand it, but I'm not.

 And this would be in your view a "sewer pipe" because..... Musk when
he took it over removed all the censorship?

It was a sewer pipe even before Musk bought it and removed any vestige of content monitoring.
Social media does serve as an area where the most hare-brained half-wit can parade his nonsensical delusions, as you demonstrate here with unfortunate persistence.
Free speech - in the sense that vested interests can't block out inconvenient opinions - may be a good thing, but we do need mechanisms that discourage the lunatic fringe from exploiting it to peddle fatuous nonsense.
