Ask HN: Your Twitter Signal/Noise Ratio?

I've used Twitter primarily as a news aggregator for the past 4-5 years. I've really liked it. Although I'm a big fan of actual books and read often, I find myself almost instinctively opening Twitter whenever I have a spare minute to see news, breaking items, occasional bigwig debates, etc. Lately, however, the signal/noise ratio has dived significantly for me. It's not even the increase in sponsored tweets that bothers me as much as the sheer histrionics: the ICYMI tweets, the needless drama, the stupid "Apple's new Watch won't have a washing machine built in: here's why you should care" click-bait that constantly screws with my brain. It didn't use to be like this. Twitter is the only social network I've ever used, mainly because it was actually somewhat productive, but its degrading quality has really been bugging me for the past few months. Can anyone else relate?
