My personal reason for using Twitter less is the degradation of the website. Using J to scroll down has always been buggy with image posts and often resets to the first post, but newest 'feature' includes not being able to view threads inline. When clicking a tweet it will go to the details page (opening in a new tab doesn't work) and when going back you have to scroll down possibly hundreds of tweets. When opening images inline (that still works in most cases) the page scrolls up a random amount, anywhere between 5 and 50 tweets it seems. Copying image URLs using right click also doesn't work anymore when viewing an image (only from the tweet list can you copy it, then manually editing the URL to include ':large' works). And of course the ads, even though I don't see them, the J key doesn't skip them so I know they're there. Overall, the user experience becomes worse and worse. They said Twitter makes a good replacement for RSS feeds, but honestly I wish my Twitter feed was an RSS feed to be loaded in any reader I like. |
