Is Threads dead? ☠️

Haven’t used it in over a month.. it provides no distinct value .

Except for WhatsApp which I couldn't quite quit because of family groups, I'm at a point where I'd never even sign up for any social media product from Meta. I never signed up on Instagram, have closed my Facebook about almost a decade ago and I'm not active anymore on Twitter too. Life without social media is a lot better actually.

Always has been

Please think that Threads/X is just an app that lets people post shit on their timeline and engagement. While they both may appear to have similar format (brief posts, trending, timeline etc etc) their algorithms and use cases are completely different. When Twitter started, it was a platform for fast dissemination of news straight from silicon valley. Later on, it became a platform for people to share political and social views, a platform for celebrities to update their fans about their thoughts,maybe shit post and what not. And then it made eco chamber for different sides of politics, and thats how it got all engagement. Eventually the bias came in, but then X solved it to a greater extent. Threads thought it could just copy the format and be done with it. They probably thought of linking it to the Instagram account(the biggest mistake) would give them a huge distribution, and threads eventually ended up being another instagram, completely redundant.

It’s a lesson in how tough it is to make a social platform. Zucc despite having done it multiple times over, could not really pull it off. You don’t throw millions of users somewhere and expect them to just adopt it

Anything that opposes Twitter ends up being dead - Threads, Koo etc. Only Elon has managed to make a dent.

It's dead af

It is at best a dying app if not dead already

When was it alive except it’s first week?

It’s alive only for early adopters and ppl/companies that need to keep such social media presence.

The faster a product grows, the quicker it dies unless they adopt.
