Threads now has 100m monthly active users

I barely know anyone using it; how do they such a high MAU? Is it because of dark patterns within insta by which they are able to maintain their MAU? I would be wy more interested in knowing avg time spent per user especially if it is trying to compete with x/twitter.

What is it ?? Another platform?

2008 Orkut 2011 Facebook 2012 Twitter 2013 Instagram 2015 Quora 2016 Reditt 2019 Discord 2020 Tiktok 2022 Snapchat . . . 2024 Grapevine. Except GV, none of them is shipped from India.
