It's not the random posts, it's that the people you follow on Twitter are human (hopefully) and will post about things outside the core reason for following them. I follow a bunch of sports writers on Twitter to keep up on my favorite teams and fantasy stuff. Invariably, on slow news days, they will post about their kids, cats, the weather, anything other than the teams they cover. I generally don't mind but will unfollow if the balance gets too far out of whack or if they get political in an untenable way. YMMV as far as where to draw the line between content and fluff.
