Threads: Why Meta’s Take on Twitter Feels Soulless
- xeromal 3y agoThis feels like a lot of writing for what could me described as a vanity project for Zuck to throw shade at Elon for a small amount of money. If it's successful, yay, brand new product to monetize. If it fails, it still annoyed Elon and make Zuck look better.
- version_five 3y agoI think the title was just bad. It's a good description of what's wrong with the modern internet, but it's framed as just what's wrong with Threads, which I agree could be answered much more succinctly.
- 3cats-in-a-coat 3y agoI wouldn't call it a small vanity project. This in 10 years may be what Facebook has become.
- paddw 3y agoLove to see an ad for "Learn the Future of Marketing and Unleash the Power of AI" as I read a piece on how Meta has supposedly forsaken the true gritty down to earth spirit of the internet.
- threeseed 3y ago> you don’t get fulfilling internet experiences when you build for brand safety No but you do get a viable business. There isn't just the significant costs of building and operating a global social network. It's dealing with the risks of EU, Australia etc who aren't interested in companies taking a laissez faire approach to hate speech, consumer safety etc.
- whelp_24 3y agoThreads seems to fky in the face of GDPR and Australia isn't exactly a shining example of technology governance.
- Zigurd 3y ago> you don’t get fulfilling internet experiences when you build for brand safety The other side of that coin is that when you fire the bouncer at your bar that used to get all the marketing spiffs from the beers you serve and the bar fills up with meth dealers and their hangers on, those brands leave, too. In other words, Twitter is not the public square. It's a tavern on the public square and normies don't go there now that nazis and bigots hang out there.
- 3cats-in-a-coat 3y agoThis article is complaining that there's no enough Internet drama and trolls on Threads. Like, of all things to complain about, you chose this, dude?
