OpenAI valued at 300B will never be able to produce the same products "wrappers" that these 5 people startups are making. Same reason Facebook could not make Instagram, of Jira could never make bootcamp for example.
- LZ_Khan 1y agoCounterexample- Facebook made Threads which has similar # users as Twitter now.
- cyberpunk 1y ago…. Does anyone actually use Threads? I’ve never once seen a threads link and I understood the user count was just because every facebook or IG or whatever user automatically got a generated account?
- kaashif 1y agoI have also never seen a Threads link. For all the hatred of X, people do actually use it.
- diamond559 1y ago75% of Twitter users are bots now, some I'm sure are real people.
- simianparrot 1y agoBut people link almost exclusively to X everywhere, for anything from memes to timely news. There may be a lot of bots in the comments but the platform is genuinely used by a lot of people, that’s just easily observable.
- jjani 1y agoAs with most social platforms, it differs massively per country, it would help a lot if people here spent more time considering the diversity of the world.
- woooooo 1y agoOk, but if we have to go looking for it, then its not exactly a juggernaut.
- chessgecko 1y agoMy girlfriend loves it. She’s an immigrant from Kazakhstan and apparently the Kazakh community on Threads is very active. Reminds her of home.
- eduardofcgo 1y agoDidn't it came out recently that those numbers were bugus, since basically every Instagram account must have a Threads account, and those are not actual active users?
- skinnymuch 1y agoDon’t believe everything you read if you actually believe this. Threads in no way has close to the same actual usage or users
- NBJack 1y agoMeta really, really likes to game their numbers. Take claims of that with a hefty grain of salt.
