Users blame Threads' failure to gain market share from X on its decision to seed the network with intensely normal people who prove incompatible.
@ben_golub
What's the most convincing explanation of why Threads hasn't taken more market share from X?

@ben_golub They seeded the network with the most intensely normal people on the planet. Oil and water.

@ben_golub People who use Instagram don't read? I just think there's very little overlap. I effectively never come across a link to anything on Insta or anything on Threads. They are also even more gated than Twitter.

@ben_golub I already split my personality into three parts (one for each platform), and didn't have anything left for Threads. Oh, and peer pressure and the lack of it.

@ben_golub what's threads

@ben_golub Externality.

@ben_golub arent you the networks guy
