Maybe.. I'm in a different mindset when using Twitter than FB. I use Twitter somewhat professionally, to discover new tools, learn things, follow people that are relevant to my work. I use FB purely for my private personal life.
When I see Twitter ads for SaaS offerings or software tools, I actually read them. On FB, I'm very good at completely ignoring the ads.
- bad_user 10y agoThat's precisely my experience. I've actually read Twitter ads because, what do you know, those ads are better targeted. For all the data that Facebook is said to collect, they actually don't have much on me besides friends I barely know, pictures of my child, some political rants and jokes liked. Twitter on the other hand has a list of people with which I share interests and they can do targeting based on that list. Which is exactly what they are doing and for me it worked. I'm actually amazed that they aren't doing better on paper.
