Threads Is Doomed to Fail

"Mark Zuckerberg's Threads platform hits 100 million users in 5 days, growing faster than ChatGPT"
​
This is a farce.  "Threads" is less of a product and more of a 'feel better' gambit for those who cannot see beyond their own, personal biases and shortcomings.
​
"...the company isn’t going to actively encourage politics and hard news on the platform, but it could end up being the place people go for a conversation-based social media platform..." - The Verge

It's like a bad movie that 'everyone'(Hollywood Influencers) says is a great movie. A good solution doesn't need a narrative to tell me it is a good solution.
​
Comparing this to ChatGPT is a marketing parlor trick as old as the hills - positioning.

The numbers are not real, "Threads owes much of its success to its connection with Instagram." and the platform is not sustainable -  “we don’t even know if this thing is retentive yet,...” - Mosseri
​
It's classic.  There was no problem to be solved.  The decision was politically motivated if not emotionally charged.
Not a good business move.
