Ask anyone their thoughts and opinions on Twitter and you’ll probably get a mixed response. There are those users with a multitude of followers, connecting with people and successfully sharing their thoughts with a large audience and ‘micro-blogging’ like a pro!
Then, on the other hand, there are users who feel like they're tweeting themselves, who aren't getting engagement and the network isn't selling their product or service. They feel like they're wasting time and of course time = money.
You can read many reports suggesting that Twitter is declining in its relevance for users due to disappointing user growth and a drop in timeline views. Many companies debate whether or not to market to Twitter at all.
A common problem for Social Media networks comes with the growth of advertising, which leads to a seemingly never ending stream of spam on your timeline -This is a real turn off for Social Media users!
