Agree with this piece on IG’s Threads and why it can never truly replicate the magic Twitter once had https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/06/threads-wont-be-fun-but-it-will-give-brands-a-home-away-from-twitter/?guccounter=1

Thomas 🔭🕹️ (thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io)'s status on Friday, 07-Jul-2023 10:06:20 JST Thomas 🔭🕹️ @taylorlorenz The problem with Threads is that it’s stuffed with ultra-boring influencers begging for likes.
It’s feels icky to use it and its so bad that (to me) it’s physically revolting.

Not tryin to be that guy, but you are not their target audience. From what I can tell, their brand is really all about the "influencers", which means every wannabe "influencer" and media socialite will flock to it... And since it is tied to their existing IG accounts there is really no new "cost" associated with it.In conversation permalink -
