and then everyone completely forgot about

You need to expand your sources of information. Threads is shit, I agree, but it is actually getting solid usage. You’re going off vibes on places like Lemmy.

Yup. If you only follow Lemmy, you'll be completely confused at:

  • why Tesla/X/other Musk stuff still exists
  • how Trump won if nobody supported him
  • how Meta is still in business if the only thing people use is their cheap VR headsets

There's a lot of stuff we don't see here.

Facebook is actually a bit of a mystery at this point. They stopped reporting DAU’s their numbers are so lackluster and they have burned a small nation’s budget on “The Metaverse” with nothing to show. Then they cut jobs, applaud, and stock goes up. A lot of folks are scratching their heads over but Wall Street loves it regardless.
