    I expect Threads to fail, because honestly Zuckerberg isn’t a very smart guy.

      I expect it to fail because it’s utter dogshit. Since the feed is algorithmic, you see a bunch of crap you aren’t following rather than the people you are following. Who wants that?

          The algorithms are the biggest thing driving me away from social media. I don’t want to just feed at the trough endlessly while my emotions bounce around erratically. Here is a cute cat, here is a meme about a video game, here is someone being killed by a drone, here is a video of a bird dancing.

        I have no idea about the specifics. But what you describe, is kind of the thing I’d expect.

        He would take a concept and make it worse, because he thinks he is smart.

        Maybe it’s to get people to scroll more, so they see more adverts. IDK. Facebook has a lot of behavioral data to use in such a design. But Zuckerberg might be arrogant enough to disregard it.

        Erm, are you aware how much money he has wasted on his “brilliant” idea about the metaverse? Have you seen the results of that? He even named the company after that complete failure of an idea. lol

      I don’t like zuck, I still think it’s shortsighted to not call him smart.
