A comment on The Threads Creator Paradox.

Nobody has ever linked me or talked to me about something on Threads, and the only reason I know it still exists is because of annoying ads on Instagram.

Is it a ghost town or am I just not the target demographic (what is the target demographic)?

Seems like people submit stuff from Threads about once every few weeks, but they just don't get much attention.

Unlike twitter where we see a lot more submissions, and many get voted up.

A big part of what made Twitter influential was that twits could be easily shared widely on other platforms. That doesn’t happen with Threads, and happens less now with Xitter.
