If you think Twitter is going to /dev/null, well, take a look at popular subreddits like https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/ (NSFW link). It is just a disaster, a complete failure. How can current management allow getting things this bad at Reddit? Perhaps the intention is to deliberately create a poorly functioning site, causing frustration among users to the point where it becomes abandoned and can eventually be shut down.

There are lots of interesting group accounts you can follow on here, they work like this:

1. Follow a group's account to see discussion of its topic
2. @ the account if you want to post to the group
3. The account boosts anything @-ed to it, be careful when you @ them so that you don't spam the group (spammers tend to be reported and blocked)
