I don't understand the problem with Twitter ads.
A simple script gets rid of all Twitter website junk quietly and automatically. No Promoted tweets, no "You may want to follow" nags, no "Now trending" junk. Nothing, but a stream of tweets from those I follow.
I realize that making people pay to use the service is likely to attract a different user base, but the lack of ads doesn't really move a needle a bit.
