If only they weren't inane. I think Twitter is probably the worst in terms of 'promoted content' because it always seems to serve up the same ad several days in a row and it's always something surprisingly off-topic. I'd be browsing my feed full of political news, movie trailers, and animal photos... and get an ad for ketchup. How on Earth could I confuse that for a real tweet or something my friends would retweet? A ketchup ad? Mental.
