I'm not sure it's the mindset that our time is so valuable; it might be that we are exposed to so many ads during the day that a Twitter stream might seem somewhat sacred from an actual person. Putting an ad in there might seem like it's misleading. Or it just makes us uneasy. I'm all for charity, but advertising on Twitter streams seems almost unethical. 2. I think people are, in general, worried about reputation damage. 3. I think it's more of a well he's doing this, so now there's going to be flood of people having ads on the Twitter accounts. I believe it boils down to people feeling uneasy about having ads in the Twitter streams. Ben, I think there are a few reasons.
