Services with network effects go clique by clique. You don’t know anyone on it. For others, their entire social circle uses it.

- nebula8804 3y agoYeah the flamewars between Mcdonalds and Wendy's accounts are epic. I'm sure they will be longtime Threads users. Unfortunately for my cadre of human based contacts, it is a complete desert. Everyone was intrigued for a week or so, some tried to keep it going a month later but we even have people that would benefit from leaving Twitter like AOC having abandoned the platform.
- hbn 3y ago> Yeah the flamewars between Mcdonalds and Wendy's accounts are epic Is this a thing people are still finding novel these days? It was cute when Wendy's started posting tweets that appealed to millennials a decade ago, but these days I'm not gonna use an app where I'm just looking at a feed of cringey ads where social media managers try to look hip and with it by posting a big chungus meme. Any time I open Threads, all I see are posts from brands (ads), engagement farming, and people posting about how Twitter is dead despite the fact that it's still where all the fun stuff is happening.

- miguelazo 3y agoI’m not that old or insulated yet, and I work in tech. People with any business savvy or sense of digital culture should have known that it would fizzle out very quickly, as it has. This is not how things evolve. I’d recommend the book “The 22 Immutable Laws of Branding” if you don’t understand why. The network effects of this project are a hockey stick going in the wrong direction.
