Meta could become even more dominant in social media with Threads

I was impressed that day one they basically most likely spent weeks/months behind the scenes reaching out to all "blue checkmark" people from Instagram/Twitter and encouraging them to get all set up on Threads ahead of time. At least I think that's what happened. They probably paid them to do it too lol
Why do you expect any different from the same company who even knows that its algorithm that was seen as toxic [0] from Instagram is now on Threads? They are certainly going to push ads when they have the chance and Meta will not change.
This euphoria always happens at the start of another platform existing and given it is by Meta again, I will expect them to screw over their users just like they always have done.

Reason for sharing: can't imagine I'm the only one.
Not sure what you mean about the money thing. Whether you mean me or another person hypothetically following, I don't see a direct way to make money off of it.

My believe is that Zuckerberg will use Threads as his bullhorn the way Musk uses Twitter. We will be hearing more from him to advance Meta's goals. He has learned from Musk that having a place to speak from directly to millions of people can be of great advantage to his businesses and popularity. He should also know, given Musk's example, that there are little consequences from saying the wrong things so he has little to lose.
We'll never see a fight between the two but we will see a lot more of this loud mouth type of rivalry between the two. In time, we'll see people separate into team Zuck and team Musk online.
The way I see it, his long term goal is to be president someday. He's won the money game. There's not much more gain there. But if he becomes president he will be in the history books forever. Threads will become a perfect place for him to increase his popularity among all the American voters.
At least, the home page has some color; internals are just bland. It's interesting to note - the home page has no links.
To be fair I don’t know if the people involved are complaining about (1) or (2) or both but they are using a word that I am putting in quotes.
Tons of censoring.
Not even allowed to talk about the cocaine found at the White House.
How are they already tagging accounts as "repeatedly posting false information that was reviewed by our independent fact checkers" if they've only been up for what, a day? Seems a bit premature unless they already had a pre-written blacklist.
