Many Twitter users have noticed that Twitter is now inserting tweets into their timelines that seemingly don\u2019t belong. This is not an accident. Twitter has updated its help document, \u201c<\/span>What\u2019s a Twitter timeline?<\/a><\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If I was still using Twitter, consider this the final straw. I know how unpopular freemium is in web-apps like Twitter but I think the community has so much value and I\u2019d pay extra to not have ads with additional features. Users of Twitter deserve to be the customers of Twitter, not advertisers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When you step back and look at everything going on with Twitter, it\u2019s a very disappointing state and even more disappointing that App.net couldn\u2019t succeed in the wake of a huge community of users that are sick of Twitter.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re [Twitter] not obsessed with messing with developers\u2019 heads \u2014 we\u2019re just innocent bystanders getting hit whenever this fundamentally insecure, jealous, unstable company changes direction, which happens every few years. Twitter is never happy being Twitter, and it seems at times that its leadership doesn\u2019t realize or doesn\u2019t value what makes it so great. (Ever wonder why there\u2019s so much leadership turnover?) And they\u2019re now under the financial pressures of being a high-profile public company. It\u2019s a powder keg.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

They\u2019ve lost developer support, the indy support and the support of their core fanatical customers. They\u2019re profitable as Hell so I guess that\u2019s something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via Quartz:\u00a0 Many Twitter users have noticed that Twitter is now inserting tweets into their timelines that seemingly…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2016-08-31T00:30:09Z","apple_news_api_id":"b00fa8f9-b6c1-4321-8985-67aa548312ad","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2016-08-31T00:30:09Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AsA-o-bbBQyGJhWeqVIMSrQ","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4291","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-linked","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-17d","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4335,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2014\/11\/13\/more-evidence-that-twitter-is-screwed\/","url_meta":{"origin":4291,"position":0},"title":"More Evidence that Twitter is Screwed","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"November 13, 2014","format":false,"excerpt":"\u2026or phrased better, they have no idea what they\u2019re doing over there.
