Forget the privacy concerns. The issue with Threads is that it's very unfinished. They assumed the rate limiting was going to be the dumbest thing Elon was going to do, and they rushed it out the door long before it was ready.

It might still succeed, but you only get one chance at a first impression.

The problem with Twitter is that it's slowly turning to a pile of crap. The amount of spam & NSFW gallore has been wrecking havoc on the platform.

You mention any company that deals with finance and soon your tweet is bombarded with these spams and more. Makes it very difficult to use now.

I agree. I am friends with a few artists on there, and we used to chat through DMs, but now Elon is rate limiting DMs, so we've had to move the chats elsewhere. How the hell is it supposed to be an "everything app" if you can't even send text chats to your friends on the platform? This guy is utterly incompetent, so of course spez wanted to copy him I guess.
