Maybe few tweets every month is exactly how you are supposed to use it.

Well Jack only started tweeting after he left the Twitter CEO position.

  If anything, Jack is tweeting less now. He has been, was and still is very active https://socialblade.com/twitter/user/jack https://socialblade.com/twitter/user/jack

That's fine. If I saw how the sausage was made, I probably wouldn't eat it either.

Does anyone at Twitter? Whenever I open the official app, I feel like I'm attacked by middle-manager KPI hacks. "Follow this!" "Try that!" "Ad!" "More topics for you!" "Ad!" "People who ate a sandwich also liked this!" "Rando replied to another rando" "Topics!" "More Topics!" "Toooooopics we beg you!" (and "see less often" is as effective as door close elevator buttons) In this cacophony I can't find tweets from the people I follow. If I wasn't using a (dying) 3rd party app that removes all of this nonsense, I wouldn't be using Twitter any more.

  My favourite is 1-click to follow (no confirmation), but multi-click (with popup confirmation) to unfollow.

  The ads aren't a problem with some adblocking extension. What is more annoying is the "Trends". I keep getting way too many artificially inflated political keywords thrown at me. I tried to avoid that by following primarily non-political accounts and block any tinfoil nutjob i encounter, but no use. That's why i avoid Twitter now.

  There should be more diverse topics. I don’t like being shilled makeup, soccer and crypto 1000x every day.

Creation is different from consumption. Most content on social media platforms are disproportionately created by power users.

  Jack Dorsey was a very prolific user. Zuckerberg is every day on Facebook. Tim Cook uses and iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac all day. and so on.

    You have data showing that Jack Dorsey isn't using Twitter to "prolifically" consume the same way Zuckerberg or Tim Cook are consuming?

Can't read it because of the forced-login growth hacks. I'm already effectively addicted to twitter on my personal computer and phone. Do they really need to make sure they make me log in on one more device?

I mean, wouldn't be surprised if the CEO has an alt. Have you seen how much shit he got for that one joke that was quoting another joke that was slightly anti-white?

Social media is the new smoking, and of course social media execs don't use it. They know how bad it is for you.
