It’s ultimately a math question: are you more likely to find compelling content from the few hundred people in your social network, or from the millions of people posting on the service? The answer is obviously the latter, but that answer is only achievable if you have the means of discovering that compelling content, and, to be fair to both Facebook and Twitter, the sort of computational power necessary to pull off a TikTok-style network didn’t exist when those companies got started.

WaitWaitWha: I think the 'port' concept inherits so much abstraction, it changes the meaning and how it really works.
When I started out, a port was (and still is) just a designated memory location, and address, where some process (like a NIC driver) can write byte(s) into it. 'Listening' on a 'port' just meant the memory location is checked by a piece of code either through polling or interrupt driven. The interrupt is triggered by the same process that placed the data into the mem location.
Abstraction married to time is a is the enemy of knowledge.
