Note #55
I created a Threads account yesterday in the ongoing pursuit of finding a Twitter-like experience that is a net positive for me. The app looks neat and works fine, but there are two big issues:
- There is no way to surface content from non-verified users (i.e. normal people)
- There is no way to view only posts from accounts you follow
In its current iteration, Threads is an app for eavesdropping on Instagram influences, celebrities, and brands.
I don’t see how that provides lasting value to most people after the launch excitement fades.
