Sure, but I feel like this was because of feature creep more than anything else.

Most common thing people use it for is posting and reading. If you fake feeds as if they are real-time then the viewer will never know there was a system outage.

I am almost positive there was a massive security breach too.

That's a very serious allegation, as it would be illegal to not report it. Can you add some details?
