The next one to enshittify will be Threads. Right now it's in the honeymoon stage where there aren't any ads so people are encouraged to use it and help grow the platform.


This one I don't mind, there is like 1% of actual posters, everyone else are bots or tweet copy pasters


Ha! You jinxed it!

Introducing ads in Threads: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44297875

Just got an email about it today from Meta, inviting us to bid on the new platform.


I used Threads for the first day. And seeing occasionally promo pics that James Gunn posts of Superman. But from my ancedotal experience, Threads is already full of bots, escort services, and random tweeters who I have no interesting in following. I feel Threads might be shut down eventually or integrated into Instagram perhaps.
