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.
- Scoundreller 5y agoMy favourite is 1-click to follow (no confirmation), but multi-click (with popup confirmation) to unfollow.
- BurningPenguin 5y agoThe 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.
