Sure but engagement of that userbase will eventually start to drop because there are so many social networks out there and Threads is not that much different than your average XY network. Zuckerberg's chain of thought was "Twitter is a mess, we can do it better and we have the power of Facebook's and Instagram's distribution", but is that enough? What special and hot features Threads has? And just look at Google; how many products they shut down because of slow user growth and low engagement? killedbygoogle.com is the testemony....so many good products killed, just because they weren't cost-effective for Google.

From all objective measures, Threads is doing fantastically. It being undifferentiated is less of an argument now than it was at launch. They could die. But right now they’re a strong No. 2.
