I have a different problem with Twitter: the mechanics of using it keep getting worse. Once upon a time you could read Twitter without logging in. This meant that one could communicate via Twitter to anyone without much friction. Now Twitter is barely functional logged out, and even making an account just to read Twitter is a hassle: you need to give an email address and then get persistent nagged. Twitter wants verification and phone number, it sends spam (I mean helpful links to content), and it generally tries to drive engagement in a way that drives away users.

In short, people who want to have readers want a platform that makes reading easy. Twitter is no longer that platform.
