Threads Hits 275M Users: Is This a Win or Just a Wipeout?
Well, folks, it’s official! Threads, the latest brainchild of Meta, has hit a staggering 275 million monthly active users. Yes, you read that right. It seems that after launching in July 2023, they’ve managed to snag millions of users eager to escape the chaos of X (formerly Twitter) after Elon Musk took the wheel. Who knew leaving one tumultuous platform for another could be so… popular?
Adam Mosseri, the man in charge of Threads and Instagram, took to the wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">digital streets to celebrate this momentous occasion. “A big thank you to everyone who’s helped us get this far,” he tweeted, sounding a tad surprised that people are still willing to flock to new social media platforms like moths to a flame. He added a note about the exciting journey ahead and the multitude of issues they’re keen on fixing—because, let’s be honest, what’s a new social network without a few hiccups?
In just three short months, Threads has skyrocketed from 200 million to 275 million monthly active users. That’s a gain of 75 million users in a quarter! Perhaps they’ve been luring users in with promises of an exciting new place to post… whatever it is that people post. Meanwhile, mark zuckerberg announced during a recent conference call that a whopping one million people are signing up every day. That’s right, folks—at this rate, they might even reach 300 million users by next week!
But let’s not get too carried away with the numbers. While user acquisition is soaring, Threads has found itself grappling with a host of moderation issues that have left many users scratching their heads (and some even shaking their fists). Who doesn’t love a good ol’ moderation headache on a brand-new social platform? It really adds to the charm of the experience!
So, as we raise our virtual glasses to Threads and its impressive growth, let’s not forget to enjoy the thrilling rollercoaster ride of social media drama, user complaints, and moderation mishaps. Cheers to 275 million users, and here’s hoping they can turn that excitement into something that’s not just another wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">digital circus!
