@jappleby Let’s all agree to NOT be surprised when Threads introduces ads around oct/nov. Nothing wrong with that, but I know there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Who called this? I KNOW I read somewhere that this is the “explanation” they were going to trot out.
Can’t wait for a viable alternative that finally puts the nail in this coffin. Calling it now that it will be the exodus of advertisers that finally kills Twitter.
@jappleby@Twitter I think either the back half of 2023 or the early part of 2024 will finally see some new entrant unseat one of the text-based social channels. Seems like none of them can figure out monetizing, and someone is going to come up with a solution.
Back half of 2023 gonna be a whole new world of social media. There’s like 3 apps not losing money hand over fist I bet, and we’ll all have to be there by December.
@BrendanCruzer@NHLBlackhawks That’s a trip down memory lane. Versteeg? Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in quite some time…
Also didn’t remember Danault was a Blackhawk. 2015 was 5 years ago… right?
At what point in the “catching up to TikTok” timeline will Reels get the ability to scrub through videos? Getting tired of accidentally watching a reel with no point at the end.
Not being able to fast forward Reels is probably responsible for millions of hours of lost time we could have spent typing “I saw that last month on TikTok”.
