I've dropped Twitter. Their iOS client regularly pushed so many ads down my throat (in stream) that (a) I noticed and (b) I noticed it every day.

When I got to the point of blocking every advertiser (confirmed views +1!) but they popped back up under different special handles I resigned myself to defeat.

I will miss the serendipitous discovery of tidbits of information that it enabled, but the signal/noise (or rather, content/ads) ratio was overpowering. It needs to make money, but I think it's killing itself or at least transforming itself into the equivalent of TV -- content producers broadcasting to a largely passive audience.

They've made it increasingly annoying to use their site, particularly as a logged out user.

Their mobile site on android breaks -- forwarding me to an error page -- about 1/3 times I attempt to use it. This is the stock os and browser on a nexus 5.

The desktop site no longer allows me to view sensitive content by clicking the button: not on chrome w/ ghostery, not on ff with no plugins, and not on safari with no plugins.

I'm prompted to login at least 1x day, and you can't see who someone follows without creating an account.

I haven't dropped it 100% but I've turned off all notifications. I've even unfollowed some users and brands that I got push notifications from where I wasn't even @mentioneded. The iOS app is getting really spammy now.
