Eh, I think it's a bit harsh. I've gotten so many good music, makeup, fashion, cooking, adhd, and art recs from TT. If your interests map to TT's format then it works well, if it doesn't then it doesn't.

If you're gonna spend a few minutes scrolling through your phone because you have an awkward amount of time then TT is to me the cream of the crop. Reddit/News/Twitter just makes me angry and feel bad, Pinterest/Tumblr are stale, Facebook is for old people.
