I think the problem for a lot of people is that on Twitter you're not subscribing to information/topic streams but to personalities. I follow almost only information security accounts but I'm still subjected to authors' extreme politics, conspiracy theories, and rants touting their personal morality clogging up my feeds. I think that it's Twitter as a medium that is a flawed method of communication. Also it doesn't help that the only method of self-categorization (hashtags) penalizes the author by further reducing the limited character count.
