"the fact is that the moment one of those creatives "gets political" (as determined by Threads, however they want, with no human appeal), their content will become effectively invisible [0]" Your citation doesn't support your claim. It actually contradicts it. Some users -- particularly those in the news/politics sphere -- were clamouring for more of a news / politics focus. Instagram's head declared that it is not their focus. He went on to specifically note that they weren't going to suppress or discourage those topics, they just wouldn't exaggerate or push it, as is the norm. Because let's be real -- Twitter, Facebook et al push news/politics, particularly news that angers you, because it drives engagement. Many of the major social media news/politics figures were essentially created by these algorithms essentially trying to manufacture engagement, with millions of people spraying spittle and laying trillions of words of noise to zero useful effect on the planet. If Threads stays clear of that, more power to them! In reality eventually someone is going to realize they'll get more ad revenue if they push adversarial content on users, but hopefully it is delayed for a while. And FWIW, there sure are a lot of "creatives" giving political commentary on Threads...they are appearing in loads on my feed.
