As I said before. There was a world before Twitter and there will be a life after Twitter. I deactivated my account (and Facebook et al) over a year ago. Not only have I not missed it, I feel lighter without it.
I still find/follow things I like - just not on Twitter (or Facebook and whatnot).
Aside:
Social media that trigger our reward response (followers, likes, etc) will inherently never really work. People will post things that get the most followers or likes, not what matters. The more radical, the more likes or followers, the better. Not everybody of course, but enough to make these system in total a detriment to society.
