> Is there a way for social media to stay fun and profitable?

I think Twitter gets pretty close. Sure they have ads (which are unobtrusive for the most part), a bot problem, a bullying problem, an anachronism problem - but that doesn't change the fact that an average user always finds some fun and interesting content on their feed if they're following a curated list of people.

I'm impressed they've been able to keep the experience light on "features" and have kept their core user experience consistent since their perception.
