In a scene unfamiliar with the world of technology and social media platforms, the “Threads” application for short blogging jumped in a short period of time, achieving unparalleled success, and then jumped back again, losing its luster in another short period.
And after it shone since its launch on the sixth of July, with the number of subscribers to “Threads” reaching 100 million people in just 5 days, this glow began to extinguish a few days after its launch, with the reluctance of millions of users from the application launched by the “Meta” company, and many thought that it would become one of the alternatives to “Twitter”.
