Those all are automated spam, and doesn't really facilitate discussion. They just increase noise on the platform.

Edit: Reminder that Twitter filters out posts that don't receive much interaction.

Pretty much none of what I use Twitter for is discussion. You're assuming everyone uses Twitter for a very specific, limited purpose.

Not everything in Twitter is about discussion.

Much of the platform is dedicated to users wanting to follow products, brands, services etc. For them the services I listed are a critical necessity. You can argue all of it is spam but then by that definition so is most of the web.

Lol @ you assuming that anything a company posts is spam. You can just unfollow them.
