If the advertisers were less prominent and it wasn’t Zuckerberg in charge of everything, I’d be all for it. But Web 2.0 Silicon Valley is built on a foundation of 100% lies
Twitter proved its value to me the day Michael Jackson died - where I was aware of this event hours before the news "broke" on it. That is the day I saw the value in it. To shy away from that just makes it a shopping mall.
We can't skip over Adam Mosseri's role in all of this, as head of Insta. He's the one who drove photographers away from the photographs app by pivoting to video and chasing tiktok, no doubt he's making the shitty decisions behind Threads as well. Adam maybe has worse product management than Zuck.
