Mark Zuckerberg thinks Threads could be Meta’s next social network with 1 billion users
‘I’m highly confident we’re going to be able to pour enough gasoline on this to help it grow,’ he told investors.
‘I’m highly confident we’re going to be able to pour enough gasoline on this to help it grow,’ the Meta CEO told investors on Wednesday.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has high hopes for Threads, his competitor to the company formerly known as Twitter.
During Meta’s second quarter earnings call with investors on Wednesday, Zuckerberg was asked multiple times about Threads and his expectations for its long-term success. He said it’s a “weird anomaly in the tech industry that there hasn’t been an app like this for text-based convos that has reached 1 billion people,” echoing previous comments he has made both on Threads itself and during a recent interview with the podcaster Lex Fridman.
Pour gasoline to help it grow? Weird metaphor to use
Right? You'd use something like that if you wanted to kill something...but I guess the Zuck just thinks differently to us all lol
Only time will tell
Kind of interesting to see this whole thing playing out to be honest.
And the only reason why Threads has that many users in the first place is because of their user share on other platforms owned by Meta. Mastodon has been around for a long time, and ignoring the fact that it's decentralized, the users on there have generally come very organically, unlike on Threads.
