Threads, Meta’s new social app, reached 100 million users in under a week, setting a new record for fastest growth. However, its quick growth may not guarantee lasting success. While the app benefits from Meta’s large user base and aggressive marketing, early data shows engagement dropping off sharply after the first day. Many users likely joined out of fear of missing out rather than genuine excitement for the app itself. Google+ also grew quickly at first but ultimately failed due to lackluster product and engagement. Joining Threads impulsively may end up like “waking up with a hangover” as the app has not solved Twitter’s problems and still faces issues like privacy concerns.
This might be the first big social network where corporations joined BEFORE the users. People will feel drowned out by all the Wendy’s shitposts and just leave
I joined and hated it immediately. Deleted within 30 minutes.
Is this one of them? I haven’t been to a Wendy’s in a decade, so fishfry cheese beer sounds maybe plausible. It’s like meta guerilla Meta marketing
Threads is.
Me I just like registering the weirdest domains possible
I know I’m not alone but I actually liked Google+ because the circles concept actually worked really well for showing me what I wanted to see.
Google+ only failed when Google killed it.
Agree. Circles made it easy to keep posts meant for my friends/colleagues/family separate which was great. I think when they killed G+ was the turning point where I stopped investing effort into new Google products and tools. Anything beyond Gmail/GSuite just can not be relied upon.
Inbox by Gmail for me. Seems like it was killed around the same time as G+, according to the Google Graveyard.
I wonder how many people just joined out of curiosity
