Instagram Threads: The Problem with the “Everything for Everyone” Approach

I would agree if A) Threads didn't just add 100M users overnight, and B) if Twitter wasn't a spam-filled shitshow.

It's undeniable that Twitter is a failing product. Their advertisements are literal basement-tier garbage... I see the type of ads that normally fill your spam inbox. The blue checkmarks seem like they're all Elon sycophants and thus you are forced to interact with a bunch of weirdos as the top replies to any post. It just feels like walking into a Walmart at 1am, vs Threads which feels like Target on a weekday.

“100M users” … okay then.

Like I said, it will be forgotten in a few days so enjoy the wave because it is coming down.

And mind you, I have zero investment in either of the platforms. I just happen to be able to have a neutral discernment of the situation.

A neutral discernment wouldn’t state that 100m user platform will be forgotten about in mere days. You are unwilling or unable to provide a realistic timeline. You are getting downvoted due to the bad faith argument.

I kinda like ads I am getting on twitter now. For me, it gives goofy t-shirts mostly and some goofy mugs.
