^this. It's only a problem for those who have given up on controlling their behavior, the information gluttons, if you will. And in this sense, that's anything but a problem for Twitter ('oh no, people can't stop opening our app and engaging with it').

It is alot more stressful for content creators like youtube personalities who tweets out constantly instead of being a consumer. Because you have to make sure you don't miss any import people tweeting at you. And you have to make sure you make your audience happy. Most youtube stars hate twitter because it's such a burden to having to keep up with their audience.

Twitter can't afford to loose these people because they are the ones who create all the tweets most people come to twitter to consume.

And those people won't use Highlights.

If highlights brought them all their most important fans tweets so that they only had to check their twitter feed once a day why woudln't they want to use it?

Granted they would still use it to promote their stuff. But they wouldn't have to check their feed which is the cause of stress and info overload
