Or it's a simple distinction between what more resembles an RSS feed for people vs. traditional social media.

But if you've made up your mind that it's all rubbish, by all means don't let me interrupt.

On reddit you've got your mates page which shows you only posts from people you follow, on facebook you can curate your wall to some extent to only see news from your family and friends. You can do the same thing on twitter. It's still social media and an extremely toxic implementation of it at that.
Sorry but you are still equating content from your friends with content from trusted sources and experts. I love my friends, I don't care what their opinions are on most things (because they are often uniformed). And I don't want to see endless pictures of their kids.
