A different take: Twitter's lifeline is its celebrities, and the majority of them have chosen to stay. Combine that with the fact that most people join Twitter to follow those same celebrities and you have your answer. Same thing with Instagram. You literally have the notion of "following" there. They cannot be compared to Reddit where the lifeline is instead those anonymous users who randomly contribute content.

Exactly. And not just celebs, but local news reporters and stations, weather, etc all stayed. I stayed off for a while but occasionally have to go back to see what the local sports anchor is saying about my local teams, etc.
That, and customer support for products & services. More often than not, you get better service through Twitter than through the official service lines.
