What y'all think about Threads by Meta?

[MJ DeMarco]

Threads "died" quicker than I thought.

How so? Why that conclusion?

I had to do a deep google search of about 23 Seconds to look, what this threads is.
Another thing, useless beneeth advertisement.

But what I love, is that Zuck/Elon game. What else can it be than a big advertisement game. I can’t believe that those two are really 2 small kids fighting in the sandbox…

I'm going to make a prediction here that it'll flop eventually. It's not about how many sign up initially, it's about whether people stay. The home feed is a mess, and let's be honest: this is basically just Instagram with a text-focused UI.

Threads in its current form, on the home feed, is just a bunch of influencers and brands talking to each other. There's no space for anyone else.

"Reply with your fave summer movie"

And Zuck has the audacity to talk about "spreading kindness" on the platform. Revolting.

What even is threads? I don’t use social media, what is threads? Is it just a copy of all the other ones?

It's interesting to see where it will go, there was a lot of excitement around Threads when they launched it a couple of weeks ago!

From what I can tell, at least in the UK, a lot of brands, such as Aldi have hopped on it for "viral marketing".

Lol.

When the initial excitement wore out, people returned to the familiarity of Twitter.

Lol.

Thats what happens when do a big launch, but only have a MVP... (and lock out the whole EU)

Great example of why startups have an edge over huge incumbent corporates. They can afford to start small, stay small, refine their product...

Meta just launched a twitter clone, threads. What are your views on it?

Just another data harvesting platform for big tech....

Don't see a lot of people talking about Threads any longer...

Or am I just out of the loop?

Still haven't joined.

Amazing that people still trust Meta or anything Mark Zuckerburg touches.

Nice breakdown on how Threads is a masterclass in deception.

The reach seems to be non-existent.

IG is practically the hardest to get views/reach even paid has been kicking my a$$.

Threads seems to be 10x worse.

I see people with MASSIVE followings (in the millions) and they have 1 like, 0 comments on 99% of the their threads. Nothing over a couple hundred.

Already long forgotten there's such a thing called 'Threads' until I saw this thread TikTok is where the action is at!
