The 30 Day Pop Up isn't a big deal. Ads are coming to threads in a couple of months. Threads can be a good Twitter killer.
Reading threads and interacting there is dead -- I have no idea how some people have 130K followers.
One woman joked this morning that without the Bots, she'd have no followers. She was posting posed butt photos, and I wanted to ask if she mean "Bots" or "Butts!" but I didn't.
I don't think you can BUY Threads followers right now anyway.
