Twitter Reading Limits

[Heisenberg]

Similar Web reports that Threads enragement continues to collapse.

https://www.similarweb.com/blog/insights/social-media-news/threads-week/

* On its best day, July 7, Threads had more than 49 million daily active users on Android, worldwide, according to Similarweb estimates. That's about 45% of the usage of Twitter, which had more than 109 million active Android users that day.

* By Friday, July 14, Threads was down to 23.6 million active users, or about 22% of Twitter's audience.

* Usage in the US, which saw the most activity, peaked at about 21 minutes of engagement with the app on July 7. By July 14, that was down to a little over 6 minutes.

-------

Again this is not surprising as, in its current form, threads sucks!  You cannot search, sort by your followers, or use a PC (which is a problem for content creators), and it is not available in the EU.

If threads wants to be the Twitter replacement, they have to fix all of this and more before 11:30 today, or everyone is going to lose interest in it and leave for good.

Agree that Threads needs to fix stuff or fade into Bolivian.

Meanwhile, all kinds of people suing or threatening to sue Musk for misuse of TSLA funds, including to prop up the money-bleeding social-media company he didn't even want.

TSLA is up 136% this year.

TSLA market capitalization = $923 billion.

Toyota, Porsche, BYD, BMW, Daimler, Volkswagen, Ford, Ferrari, Honda COMBINED =  $898 billion

Only left-wing sycophants more interested in "getting" Musk than making money are complaining.

What's a syncopate? The most recent lawsuit is by Tesla shareholders. A bunch of syncopates for sure. https://www.reuters.com/legal/tesla-directors-settle-lawsuit-over-compensation-735-mln-2023-07-17/

Also, it's market capitalization. "Capitulation" is when investors throw in the towel on investments they're convinced are losers. As you did with AAPL about 1,000% ago.

FWIW, I'm a TSLA shareholder. I like high-quality, blue-chip companies. I'm not involved in the lawsuit, though I see the point some of my fellow shareholders are making.

Thanks for correcting my spell-checker. Found something you're good at.

The lawsuit that was settled this week was filed in 2020 and alleges actions that TSLA did as far back as 2017.

This has nothing to do with Twitter.

All that really tells you is that people don't see Tesla as a car company.  Because they're not.  They're a battery and tech company.

Mea culpa. The most recent two lawsuits involving Musk and Twitter is over Elon's alleged lies to those he laid off ...

So many lawsuits, we need a scorecard!

Threads User Engagement Continues to Drop, Adding Urgency for New Features

Data show user engagement has fallen 70% as executives focus on options such as a chronological feed

For a second week in a row, the number of daily active users declined on Threads, falling to 13 million, down about 70% from a July 7 peak, according to estimates from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower.

The average time users spend on the iOS and Android apps has also decreased to four minutes from 19 minutes. The average time spent for Android users in the U.S. dropped to five minutes from a peak of 21 minutes on launch day, according to SimilarWeb, a digital data and analytics company.

Twitter's daily active users remain steady at about 200 million, and average time spent is at 30 minutes a day, according to Sensor Tower estimates.

Not surprisingly.  Zuck took a shot and released an unfinished and untested product.  Crash and burn.

Agree. I was agnostic about threads ... if everyone wanted to move that way, fine by me.

But they released something that was not ready for prime time.  So everyone is leaving in droves. When it is ready for prime time in a few months, can they entice them to return?  Is this ever happened before? (a new tech bombed on opening and then rose from its ashes to dominate?)

[brewcity77]

That's why I'm more bullish on Blue Sky. Keep it small while you get all the key users/content creators you need, then open to the public when all the bumps are ironed out.

Sounds like Elon is rebranding Twitter as X.

Genius. The smartest thing to do when you have one of the most recognizable logos on the face of the earth is to ditch it for something no one will recognize. That will save Twitter.

The next guy that tells me this guy is a genius .... well ....

Did you think the Google guys were also as wrong for rebranding as Alphabet?

How about Facebook for rebranding as Meta?

Google and Facebook didn't rebrand, they reorganized their corporations. Facebook is still called facebook, and Google the same. Their URLs are still the same. Their logos are still the same.

Google is one of Alphabet's many products/companies. Facebook is one Meta's many products/companies.

Musk said he's getting rid of the bird and changing the name of twitter. It sounds like he's rebranding Twitter, not renaming the holding company.

Will there be levels? Basic X, and a premium triple X?

When you go to Google, it's Google. When you go to Facebook, it's Facebook. They weren't stupid enough to change the names of their sacred cows.

Will X have an X rated section?
