I'll take what I can get.
They're tag n search systems. They allow a polling or statistical sampling for a searchable & sortable database. Useful for marketing.
Keyword bot retweets give me practice hitting "block". Does that count?
There are a bunch of data science ones and they have a ton of followers! Just a junk feed to me.
I found out about the next chapter in a video game because of one, that's the only time they've been useful.
