Watching this whole thing go down has made me realize that regardless of what people say, it's not about the number of people, the quality of the experience, or anything like that.
A lot of people actually want to be surrounded by "brands" and "influencers". Some people even get a kick out of "hate following" people who they don't like, which blows my mind.
That's why Threads feels so right to them. Threads has been designed for one thing, and one thing only: connecting companies to customers, often via influencers and eventually through traditional advertising.
Yup, there's a reason all of the corporate brands immediately jumped over there, and most celebrities.
The only reason I'd want to federate with threads would be for celebrities I follow, but even then I'm not sure if I'll federate my instance with it. Definitely not creating a threads account by any means.
This. I don't want to be on someone else's "team" because I like to form my own opinions. I don't want other people telling me how to manage my own head.
I think it is the bother of building up a new following before you get your fix of likes and other narcissistic stuff like that
