In shocking numbers, the number of “Threads” subscribers is constantly declining

24,503
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”.

This change in user behavior underscores the difficulties new platforms face in retaining interest once curiosity about them has run its course in the early days, and Threads faces a difficult journey to establish itself as an integral part of users’ social media habits. Threads has followed the path of many platforms that garnered huge interest when they launched, but interest quickly plummeted to lower levels, highlighting the challenge of retaining users in the fast-paced world of social media.

And expert David Carr wrote on SameWeb that there are “some indications” that at least some of Threads’ interactions have come on the Twitter account.
