Facebook and Twitter, etc., are one of those companies that flourished so much, got over their heads and killed every other competition. Their greed made them monitor their users (especially Facebook) bumper to bumper, understanding their behavioural pattern and tailoring their services in ways to get the users pathetically addicted.

Take a look at Telegram for example, an app 100x times more awesome (perhaps subjectively) than WhatsApp for example can't even really compete in the areas that matter the most. The likes of Facebook have made the normies too attached, and consequently, every other product that ventures in that direction fails. People are too lazy to get 'used' to other stuff. Their entire friends and family wouldn't be on it anyways, so why bother even if you like the new product?

During the two weeks of Threads hype, I told my friends that I'm giving Threads 2 weeks at most to crash 90% in usage, and guess what? 2 weeks later the amount of activity/active users crashed over 80%.

If you're a programmer like myself, and have attempted to create a service with even 20% similarity to the current "social" media, you'll understand better.

It's great that they're finally having a taste of their own sh*t. Lol

Bluesky will fail; Threads will fail. And that's irrespective of how many millions (or even billions) they throw into the marketing. Lol
