To be honest, its launch followed the same pattern of a bad live service game. It got launched with a lot of marketing and money thrown behind it and they paid a lot of popular people on other platforms to open Threads accounts. There was significant activity at the begining but in less than a year everybody was back at theirregular places.

It was hillarious because you could see people endorsing it for obviously political reasons, telling everybodythat the cool people was not on Twitter anymore and that this or that popular person had already moved to threads. Fast forwarda couple of mounths, the popular people had collected their checks already and returned to their regular platforms, and their audiences with them.
