What Twitter used to be good for is following a particular niche of people. For example, if you start following just a handful of developers who post content you like, and follow other developers who they interact with and retweet, the idea was that you'd end up with a feed perfectly curated for your interests, made up only of people who post content that you find interesting.
Unfortunately Twitter doesn't want you to use their service this way, so they inject other (usually divisive) content into your feed in an effort to increase engagement. Because of this, I'm not really sure what Twitter is for anymore. I guess you could make the claim that it's keeping your finger on the pulse of what random people in the world are talking about at any given moment?
