That was how I felt about Instagram... I used to be able to search the hashtags about topics I'm interested in and see tons of legit, awesome real content.

I actually see no alternative to doing so, other than the services becoming paid subscription services -- a barrier to entry most of them are not going to adopt after years of free access.
