You don't have to participate, just follow a few people so you have a customer news feed.
I went a year without doing a single tweet. I just signed up to follow Donald Trump and have his tweets sent to my phone as text messages.
Not belonging to FB, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, or any other social media is part of my world-view. I am just that rebellious! Ha Ha. Anyway, I appreciate your hard work compiling this data for us Luddites. :-)
I use twitter to my benefit, not as a feed I read. I just go on and search for what I am wanting that moment to see. Could be a show or game I am watching, could be an event or natural disaster, anything in the news. I love seeing all the different languages when it’s an international event.
I refuse to be tied to “reading a feed” on anything (except maybe FR).
