> Twitter is using your app graph to help build a more tailored experience for you on Twitter.
No thanks.
> Some examples of how we may use your graph data include:
> - Improved “who to follow” suggestions that share similar interests
No.
> - Adding Tweets, accounts, or other content to your timeline that we think you'll find especially interesting
Good lord, no.
> - Showing you more relevant promoted content.
Please, no.
- djent 11y agoAmazing they're doing all this trying to make their service "better," yet they continuously show me a feed of content I resent.

- noonespecial 11y agoThey didn't say it was better for you. They're likely making it better for their customers. (Hint: if you're not paying them, you are not the customer). There's a big difference between a user and a customer. Users are the raw materials used to make the product that gets delivered to customers.
- hoopd 11y agoI've noticed this with other services, apparently it's difficult to distinguish between "love thing X so much you share it" and "hate thing X so much you complain about it"
- lmm 11y agoA lot of people seem to enjoy complaining. If you like posting this kind of thing to your friends, what's the difference?
- JimDabell 11y ago> they continuously show me a feed of content I resent. Then why do you use Twitter at all?
- djent 11y agoTo be clear, I don't hate the content I choose to view from the people I follow, I hate the content that Twitter provides for advertising. There was a weird time when Twitter was actually showing me relevant ads - about computer stuff, startups (close enough). Now the ads are all random.
- chinpokomon 11y agoMaybe they'd do a better job if they knew what asps you have installed? /s

The more we can prove to advertisers we deliver targetted content, the more they will pay us. > Improved “who to follow” suggestions that share similar interests We will continue to suggest you to follow people who paid us but they are more likely to actually be remotely interesting to you (no promise, though). > Adding Tweets, accounts, or other content to your timeline that we think you'll find especially interesting See first item. > Showing you more relevant promoted content. See first item.
- weinzierl 11y agoWhy is it called a graph? Isn't it just a plain list?
- ricardobeat 11y agoA sneaky attempt at making the idea more digestible by associating it with 'social graph', for which we are already used giving access to.
