Note: the new API can not discern sponsored Tweets from other Tweets. As such, you may see unrelated Tweets in your feed. While our team looks for a solution to this, if you want to hide specific Tweets from your feed please use the Hide specific tweets option under Feed Options > Advanced > Filters. Here you can enter the ID of the Tweet which will be the string of numbers at the end of the URL for that specific Tweet, e.g. if the Tweet URL is https://twitter.com/smashballoon/status/1641790447130664960, the ID to add to the field is 1641790447130664960.
