Yeah I've long given up. It's just the same spam from Intagram. Everyone's grifting and producing low effort content as a "career".
That's the kind of stuff that always happens when you try to make social media profitable. It's not meant to be but they try it anyway. Now I'm not saying it should be charity work, but a self sustaining smaller community is far better than a shitposty, grifty, chatgpt-bot ridden clusterfuck.
Totally agree with your sentiment generally but Facebook made boatloads upon boatloads of money.
It shouldn't be work at all. It should just be people following people they want to hear from. IMO, there shouldn't be any companies or brands or organizations on it at all.
Just... people. And not "people as corporate entities", just personal stuff. People talking about their day, sharing their personal takes on things, or opinions of things. No sponsorship, no branding, just people.
As for how to fund that, good question. Twitter tried to figure it out for years, and never got it right. But online personalities were never supposed to be a thing. Follow who you know or want to hear from. That's the core of it, and breaking away from it is what causes them to become terrible experiences.
Doesn't sound that different from Twitter, tbh.
Yeah but Twitter has gotten so much worse. It used to be 30% trolls, "entrepreneurs" and cryptoshills and now it's like 60%.
It used to be somewhat enjoyable to read through tweets about recent events.
Yeah but you release a new thing with the same problems of 2012 then its kinda sad ngl. Threads is just so low effort.
I've seen a shift on Threads recently. Seeing more news-related content on my "for you" feed. A lot of the "influencers" have stopped spam posting since the initial hype died down.
They also added a following feed.
Threads, so cold and irrelevant right now.
What's the reason for all those hidden posts? Is it a bug or because of your privacy settings (if threads even has such a thing)?
The user manually hid posts in their "for you" feed, since that feed can be a bit hectic at times
I've hidden posts that's from celebrities or influencers i absolutely do not care about
Permanently Deleted
Until they add an option to see only people you follow it's a non starter.
They added this a few weeks ago
Noctis too busy on Threads rn to reply
