This probably isn't a surprise to anyone but Twitter is a lot more pleasant on desktop without the huge volume of ads to block.

I think because Twitter's selection of ads is less targeted than YouTube, and more like the sort of folks you'd *think* would advertise on Twitter, more ads are stuff that actively pisses me off (cryptocurrency, stock and financial investment, growing my brand, right wing news takes, Christians) and less stuff that simply doesn't interest me (I'm not a market for car stuff, pet toys, or house paint). The whole experience feels way more negative, that the world exists for and I'm supposed to love shit which isn't my personality, friends or interests.

Trying to turn this into "stepping back to using Twitter only on desktop as a way of getting my leftist Queer Heeb ass off the fucking platform."
