> The problem I have with Twitter is that it's too people centric. For example, I like to follow finance news, so I could probably find some Twitter accounts that post about that. But surely the people running those accounts would also post about other interests they have besides finance. I probably won't really care about their other interests so all of their non-finance related posts would just be noise in my feed.
That's solved by being stingy with your follows and not being afraid to unfollow people. From my experience I have zero issues keeping my stream focused on finance (though i do follow one or two comedy accounts that post every once in a while)

- xmprt 5y agoThat doesn't sound like a solution. Some people might have really good financial tweets but your solution would be to unfollow them for their irrelevant ones.
- robryan 5y agoYeah, some people post good stuff but their signal to noise ratio is just too low. Not much choice but to unfollow them.
- cirno 5y agoOr Twitter could let accounts create categories for their tweets so that you could opt-in or opt-out to them when you follow people. I may be into finance but I want to be able to post other things too, as I'm human. Trying to juggle multiple accounts is frustrating and time-consuming, and often thwarted by randomized phone number verification requirements on new accounts.
