Maybe I'm becoming a Luddite as I get older, but it seems to me we've passed peak social media. All these apps are just a spin on the same core set of features. I can friend/follow someone, I can post text/image/video, I can comment on someone's text/image/video, I can like/share someone's text/image/video, and others can do all of the same to me. On the flipside, all my data gets hoovered up and sold to people who want to show me ads they think I will click.

- Zigurd 3y agoThere is not much wrong with doing a competent job of consolidating a trailing-edge product category. Especially when you have the best ad tech and largest audience.
- thejohnconway 3y agoI agree with your sentiment in general, but Threads isn’t intended to be new, it’s supposed to be Twitter, competently run.
