personally i think there are two significantly larger reasons:

1) terrible experience: a lot of people just don’t have fun on twitter, it’s just an awful experience. why spend your free funtime in a place that you just don’t enjoy? we don’t go to restaurants that we hate, why on earth would we go to a website that we don’t enjoy?

2) too crowded. take a music concert for example, a lot of people absolutely prefer a music venue with 2,000 people over a concert where there are 100,000 people.
