Elon Musk buys and ruins Twitter

Yeah 100m they have now only another 300m and they’ll have the same as Twitter
Twitter has 300m monthly users, only about 187m daily users.
Threads reaching 100m inside a week is significant, and shows how many people are looking for an alternative to twitter.

Have to say though, it's crushingly dull over there. I don't think it's a surprise given its made up mainly from an Instagram audience. It's all very live laugh love and cringey office group chat-esque. Engagement feels low too. We'll see if people actually use it once signed up.
He’s taking it well
Fired half his workforce trying to cut costs to cover his loan payments and then is surprised and angry when Meta hired them all.

It’s also 5 days old to be fair, most posts are something like “ok let’s try this!” etc
Presumably at some point they’ll get past that phase and actually start posting stuff.

Agree think when people have used it for 6 months it carries on growing it will start to fall into the Twitter mode more! Be interesting when the premier league starts how it looks..

With only America and the uk allowed allowed on Threads at them moment you not getting the bots and the brain dead tweets from far flung supporters! Be interesting if they’ll add more countries..
Threads will eventually tighten up to be the largest echo chamber out of them all before long, populated by nodding Dogs and sycophants.
Threads is going to be exceptionally dangerous because of the privacy aspect and I'd hazard against its use. Meta have seen this as a perfect opportunity to launch an app because people politically object to Twitter those people will blindly follow to use it.
Meta/Facebook has history on this, it's almost absolutely certain that a key part of Threads will be AI algorithms that will detect your political persuasions and who knows what from your posts. It's literally mentioned in the privacy agreement that you agree to share massive chunks of your data.
Threads is just Facebook dumbed down to your own words which they'll use to build a profile of you and sell to the highest bidder. Twitter makes money from advertising to you, Threads will make money from selling you to advertisers.
