I don't know if this is such a clean distinction. I have been on twitter since the first 3-6 months that it existed as twitter, and I use the website and first-party mobile apps. Are the ads and recommendations annoying? Yes. But back when I used third-party apps (tons of them over the years, I think starting with Twinkle, and then in some order Tweetie [which became the official app], Tweetbot, Twitteriffic, and probably some I'm forgetting), the experience was bad in lots of other ways. As native photos were added, they didn't display right. As native retweets and quote tweets became a thing, they didn't work. I imagine now with tweet threading, there was at least some gap between the feature existing and the third-party apps supporting it. Obviously it's a tradeoff, but I found the downsides of the official experience to be less frustrating than the downsides of the third-party experience.
