I frankly don't believe those numbers at all. They've massively pumped it through integration with Instagram, and have integrated dark patterns around profile creation and follows based entirely on Instagram social networks. Yes, a lot of people do actively use Threads, but it's absolutely not a first class social network [yet].

Honestly it’s more the case that X is not a first-tier social network anymore. It now plays in second league with the likes of Threads and Pinterest. It retains important bubbles like Silicon Valley VCs and media people, but globally it’s just not significant with its single-digit market share.

  Twitter was the the social network where reporters and important people congregated.

I share the doubt here. I believe I have seen exactly one threads link in the wild (Excluding people listing all their social accounts). If it's got that level of usage, and not just people clicking on the occasional recommendation from Facebook/Instagram, it's remarkably insular.
