You know, it's extremely possible for them to figure out what is important to you. Especially considering that the behaviour on Twitter is more interests-based than relationship-based, it's fairly plausible to assume that Twitter can guess content that you didn't see but would find interesting
I find Twitter to be the least offensive of the SNS stuff (excluding maybe LINE for being based almost entirely on sticker revenue). The ads are usually pretty relevant, very obviously ads, and not super intrusive.
If that's the cost I have to pay to easily have quick conversations with famous people on the internet (or get support from some company), then that's great. There's a balance, obviously ( I am not a superfan of the "X people favorited" thing), but Twitter's value comes from how well it can figure this stuff out
- tw04 12y agoWhile I agree in premise, the fact it isn't an opt-in/opt-out thing is broken. There is such a thing as information overload... maybe that thing I missed is something I didn't want to see in the first place - it should be my decision, not theirs.
