Twitter wants to put ads into your replies and it's as bad as it sounds

Twitter is testing putting ads directly into conversations — with ads appearing after the first, third, and eighth replies.

I understand the need to generate revenue, but I also understand my need to not put up with such shenanigans!

If I had not dumped twitter years ago, I would be doing it now !

Same here. At one point in time, Twitter was my go to social site and was second only to iMore. It provided me with instant news, but then it became too sensitive, in my opinion. Hard truths were frowned upon so I deactivated my account and haven’t looked back.

Being how I despise ads, I would definitely do it now. I’m just about an ad or two shy from deleting the ESPN app from my iPhone.

It's a bad idea. It definitely won't resonate with users at all. They spam it with ads enough already. I may have to switch back to Tweetbot.
