Does Threads have to compete with Twitter for users or advertisers? I think people want to promote their YouTube channel and Threads has a lot of first-party tracking data.
I am having difficulty parsing this. What do you mean?
tl;dr - Musk has at various times claimed that he will turn Twitter into a WeChat-esque thing, or into a Youtube competitor. None of this has gone anywhere because, come on, obviously not.
Threads or even Facebook aren’t really competitors with X Corp businesses. The business model articulated has been video with revenue share and eventually the everything app. YouTube and WeChat are similar examples.
I think anyone reading analysis about Threads isn’t much deeper in than I. But I admittedly am too online, I call it the “funny pages.”
