Isn't that what social media is? An "entertainment" company?
I feel reddit/hn are different you do get some good conversations ... but FB and Twitter... are horrible for any sort of conversation/filtering etc.... granted I follow a ton of people when I used to do SM marketing 10 years ago, but I feel it's micro-format makes it so people are mis-understood, taken out of context, or don't have enough room to really make their point.
FB/Twitter is an all out left/right war online... Reddit you know the "tone" whether I'm lurking in conservative, hanging out in socialist/syndicalist/anarchist/late-state-capitalism subs, or technology or politics, you generally find different "voices" and opinions. Lots of sarcasm but that is how I am too... so it's much more my "style" of social net.
