Avast ye scallywags! Yonder social media app Threads, Meta's newfangled Twitter alternative, be sufferin' a mighty blow! According to them scurvy dogs at Sensor Tower, their daily active users be sinkin' by a whopping 70%, bringin' shame upon their grandiose launch just two fortnights past. A mere 13 million souls still scuttle upon the app, compared to the mighty 44 million on July 7. And to add insult to injury, the measly four minutes bein' spent on the app be a paltry sum indeed! Arrr, Twitter be laughin' from their lofty perch as Threads struggles to snatch the crown.
In a shocking turn of events, Threads, the social media app that was supposed to be the Twitter killer, has seen a massive decline in its user base. According to market intelligence firm Sensor Tower, the app has lost almost 70% of its daily active users since its peak on July 7. Ouch!Once boasting a staggering 44 million daily active users, Threads now only has a meager 13 million left. That's quite a fall from grace in just a few short weeks. It seems like users have quickly lost interest in this supposed Twitter alternative.
But it doesn't end there. Not only has the number of users plummeted, but the amount of time people spend on the app has also taken a nosedive. On average, users now spend a mere four minutes per day on the app. Four minutes! That's barely enough time to come up with a clever pirate-themed tweet.
It's safe to say that Threads has failed to live up to its hype. In trying to dethrone the social media giant that is Twitter, it has only managed to shoot itself in the foot. Maybe they should have spent less time raiding ships for treasure and more time making sure their app actually had something to offer.
So, what went wrong? Well, it could be a combination of factors. Perhaps the app didn't offer enough unique features to entice users away from Twitter. Or maybe people are just tired of constantly switching between different social media platforms. After all, there are only so many hours in a day to check for new memes and pirate jokes.
Whatever the reason, it's clear that Threads has some serious catching up to do if it wants to be a true Twitter rival. For now, it seems like the pirates will have to go back to their ships and find other ways to connect with their fellow swashbucklers.
