Depends. If I spend 1 hour on FB - showing me 2 min of ads is easier. If I spend 6 minutes on twitter - with one minute of ads I am not only heavily monetized, but probably you are pushing my ad tolerance limits.

FB could easily double their ad content and still be usable. Is that true for twitter?

Do you actually spend 1 hour per day on FB? And lets not include FB's messenger, since that doesn't count.

Seriously, what do you do for 1 hour per day?

And don't get me wrong, because I've seen some folks spending a lot of time on FB, I've got at least one family relative doing it, but those are the losers that are IMHO only worth targeting by soda and beer companies.

Messenger counts because I prefer to do my chatting on desktop on their website (preference to use keyboard sized for humans not chipmunks). Also you have to somehow fill the time between 9 and 5.
