When threads first saw its posts on Lemmy[when Lemmy first started posting about threads], I was reading one and a coworker looked over my shoulder and gasped. I looked up at her, and she said, “what is that?? And why is the logo a pubic hair?!” Good times.Edit. Clarification.
They wouldn’t need ads if they took a cut from all the porn and crypto ad bots littering the comment sections
Enshitification step 3
I remember the heady days when I thought this was the final step of enshittification. Such simple and innocent times.
Happened even faster than I thought lol.
The enshittification is carried over from other products. They’re meta, so anything they launch is partly along the path already, because they can artificially boost the launch numbers with cross-platform promotion, and because everyone already knows what assholes they are, they’re starting off with a lot of goodwill lost.
Basically, just slapping a new name and a new account creation process on some new features in their social network, is not enough to make it a new network.
I’m curious how Quest headsets will be enshitified.
Shhh. They forgot about us, let it stay that way a little longer!
Threads is still around?
Yes this is so confusing to me. There was a blast of attention about it when it was launched that lasted like a week max and then everyone completely forgot about it. I thought it was a short-run experiment that got shut down. What reason is there to use threads? Are there any actual humans who still use it? I’ve never visited it but something tells me that it’s just like reddit with at most 100 real users and the rest is just bots replying to bots.
and then everyone completely forgot about
You need to expand your sources of information. Threads is shit, I agree, but it is actually getting solid usage. You’re going off vibes on places like Lemmy.
Mastodon isn’t.
Lemmy isn’t.
Pixelfed isn’t.
🤞🏻
@ThomasCrappersGhost @moseschrute tbh, any of the single instances can have them, but at least you can choose a diferent instance or in last resort run your own

When reading the title I accidentally placed an ‘i’ in ‘ads’…
There are no accidents
Tell that to my little brother.
Oh no. Anyway…
As someone not using Threads this is a big surprise. I mean I’m surprised it didn’t already have ads.
That was my first thought. I was surprised to find this out.
Is Threads even a good enough product for users to be willing to endure ads?
It allows no external browser and if you leave the app and return the page automatically refreshes so you lose your place.
No, now that Bluesky is around I’ve stopped using Threads altogether.
Blue sky getting ads in 3, 2, 1….
And that’s when I leave Bluesky too. Meta goes down within a month and the clock is ticking for Bluesky. I’ll stay in the fediverse.
I mean… either they introduce ads, or they start charging for the service.
VC funding only lasts so long, and they have bills to pay (and probably shares to sell).
And that’s the problem. Sure, it’s better than threads or xitter now. The business model dictates that it will sink to the same level.
What do you mean, it’s brand new??!
AHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

How long before they introduce some sweet new fascism features?
“Our new GestureSupport(“Gestapo”) means you can now upvote by striking your arm up and to the right…”
Maybe a slider so we can adjust how much “masculine energy” shows up in our feeds?
Last time I checked Threads was 95% brand and influencer posts anyway.
Ha you are saying that there’s nobody left? the remaining 5% must be robots lol
You know that you are saying this on a platform with an active user base in the low 6 figures, right?
You know the meme “there’s dozens of us”?
