Mark Zuckerberg: Threads users down by more than a half

A common complaint with Threads was that, no after who you blocked or muted, it's near impossible to get away from a feed filled with influencers and common celebrity gossip nonsense. That seems to be part of the ongoing design intent - not just an aspect of how they wanted to bootstrap the service.

A few days ago they introduced a 'following' feed. They seem pretty intent on iterating quickly on it.

And even without that, the influencers mostly went away for me when I followed people I found more interesting.

And marketers. Remember: marketers ruin everything. They early adopt every up-and-coming platform and fill it with grifty posts.
