No offense, but you're showing off your lack of understanding.

No worries, I kind of expected that ;-)

That said I'll go even further and state that I have even tried to use it for 5 year plus but I still fail to enjoy it.

Guess it proves I'm hopeless at 2017 internet culture.

I used to enjoy reading web rings, make stupid web sites, use irc and run a blog though. :-/

Twitter's one of my favorite mediums. Basically everything in my second paragraph shows up in my timeline. Feels like mainlining all the good parts of the internet in a concentrated form. I'm also old enough to remember web rings and all those different funky aggregators like Memepool. Twitter at its best is like that.

I don't mean to push you into something you don't like, but if you want to give it a go again, search for weird twitter and follow anyone who looks interesting. Or follow your favorite authors or reporters. Over time, they'll retweet other interesting posts and you can follow those new people. Eventually, you'll organically build up something which follows your interests very closely.

That's how I did it. I started because I wanted to follow the Arab Spring and Tahrir Square events closely, and many Egyptians were posting their accounts on Twitter in English.

What client should I use then?

I recommend Echofon for mobile (I think it's $4 USD, but there's a free/ad version). First class list support that lets you essentially have multiple timelines. Easy to log into and switch between multiple accounts. less buggy than any client I've used and made me throw away Tweetdeck and others.
