I wouldn't recommend taking up a Twitter habit - it's more addictive than Facebook (because of the wider/deeper talent pool).
However, what ads are you referring to on Twitter? Promoted tweets (DuckDuckGo's comes to mind)? Because apart from that, I don't recall seeing any when using uBlock Origin.
I also can't really recall many intrusive ads when using the official Android app - perhaps I'm already so far in that I don't see them anymore.
To be honest, I wouldn't be upset if all social media and news websites were to become paywalled tomorrow. Perhaps I would then get back into books again (even free ones from the local library).
