Instagram has like 2 billion users and I got spammed the shit out of to open a Threads account.
That’s like saying it’s impressive I made a million dollar company after my dad gave me 2 billion.
That’s like saying it’s impressive I made a million dollar company after my dad gave me 2 billion.
And now they have reached 100M MAU which shows that people are coming and staying.
This statement is meaningless without knowing what the product, revenue and its Total Addressable Market are. 100M MAU out of 1.5B TAM is not attention-worthy. Twitter at it's peak had 550M MAU, so Threads doing close to 20% of that in less than a year is impressive.
The current MAU is calculated by counting the users who see threads on instagram and accidentally click on it - which is A LOT.
Just was pointing out user numbers and that the average Hacker News commenter’s bubble is not representative of how most of the world uses social media.
