I didnt care about the Meta family of apps before Threads and I dont care now.

Zuck is a record company in a Spotify world. No matter what those companies do, the are tied to the old paradigm and business model.

Sort:  

I doubt he cares as he laughs all the way to the bank.

Without a doubt. facebook made him one of the richest people in the world. He has no concerns there.

I dumped the big guys in 2012 after finding out they were manipulating feeds and interactions for social experiments without permission. I'll never go back

I didnt even know you needed to sign up for each app they had. I thought if you had a FB account, it was automatically used for IG.

I wouldn't know, I've never used IG

And those paradigms and models will all be left behind as technology, blockchain, and decentralized social media take over.

There is absolutely nothing exciting about the meta threads. We'll see how they fare over time.

People go where the eyeballs are and care little about the tech as long as the experience is smooth.

It's a dopamine-fueled experience. Their main selling point is paying a little share of the pie to celebrities and models to keep everyone entertained and controlled until reality hits them and they fall into an existential dilemma.

It will be successful because of the huge base it operates from.

But the rest of the decade will show how exponentiality is not there. We are seeing a paradigm shift, something that I can see the #web2 entities being able to match.

it's clear that Meta has the numbers. However, they don't have the support of the en masse, compared to the good ol days when Facebook took the social media world by storm.
Like FB and instg, Meta threads will just be another app.

Yeah. Their growth in terms of users is over but with 2.5 billion, there was going to be a cap.

It will bring in ad revenue though.
