I must be using Twitter wrong, because seeing that these articles come up so frequently, I feel like I'm one of the last people who still likes it. I did get turned off when it got marketer heavy (right around when App.net tried to be a thing), but came back to it a few years ago. I only follow ~700 people, and am followed by ~300, so I know I don't get most of the spam that heavily followed people get. In the nearly 10 years I've had an account, I've only posted 5400ish tweets, so I consume far more than I contribute. But, in general, I like it again. I get headlines from my local news outlets, occasional pictures from Star Wars sets, thoughts of other folks I admire and aspire to be like, and an outlet for the short, dumb things I have to say. If I wanted to write longer form, I have a blog, so I have never done those 10+ tweet storm things, and never typed "/1" at the end of a tweet. It's never open on my computer, so it's mostly checked on the couch, while waiting in lines, or when I'm otherwise idle.<p>I think this is where I differ with the author of the article is that the expectation of return for me from Twitter is zero. If I go a day without checking, I don't care. If I post something to it that dies on the vine, I don't care. Sometimes I get likes, sometimes retweets, but nothing I put out there is expected to have a return.
