Good day all. About a month ago. Mark Zuckerberg released his \u201cTwitter Killer\u201d app called Threads. It apparently ties into your Instagram account. Very quickly, over 100 million people signed up for it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, there were a few rather nasty bugs, some of which would delete your Instagram account if you deleted a message. (That was fixed very quickly I understand) However, another bug, as it were, has reared it\u2019s ugly head. Boredom. Now usage is off over 70%. Here are the details from Outkick<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been less than a month since Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s Meta introduced its \u201cThreads\u201d<\/a> social media app and already things are starting to significantly slow down. <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Instagram-affiliated app came out to mass appeal as over 100 million people initially downloaded the Twitter-like text app in the first few days. However, data analysis shows that many users aren\u2019t returning \u2013 and if they are, they are doing it for much less of a time. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the initial massive surge of 100+ million, Threads daily active users has now dropped by 70%, according to market data firm Sensor Tower.<\/a> Perhaps even worst \u2013 those that are still using the app appear to be bored \u2013 with time spent on the app dropping from an average of 19 to just 4 minutes per day. By comparison, Twitter averages 200+ million daily users with an average retainer time of 30 minutes. <\/b><\/p>\n
