I think Twitter wants to compete with yt by the direction Twitter is going. I saw a tweet from one user suggesting a video/photo feed just like ig, followed by a reply from Elon saying that might happen. The other thing is that threads is basically Instagram but without all the features ig has right now. Facebook is being careful since they don't want to cannibalize ig with threads since ig doesn't have any competitors rn. If you add photos, videos, etc... to threads, then you will have q repost issue. Are ig users going to repost their content on threads just because or viceversa? Why should I follow you if that's the case? The third part (controversial) is that you have to "thread" carefully because of content moderation guidelines. I'm left or right but let's call a spade a spade: social media, in its entirety, is left leaning. If you take that into consideration, then you'll loose at least 40% of your user base. Threads is aiming get most brands, celebrities, and influencers to be on the platform, having a "Twitter" like experience they can control (with fb's help) and monetize it asap. They know hot takes (politics, news, sports to a certain extent...) are difficult to control; That's why zuck said they weren't trying to "compete with Twitter" because those things divide people really fast, but takes regarding celebrities, food, etc... Are what brands want. Twitter will still be "that" place. Threads (if it doesn't cannibalize ig) will be the alternative only if you want to engage with the same content you see in ig, but text version (dull and false, most of the time).
