Even though the new Threads app garnered over 30 million sign-ups on its first night, it still pales in comparison to the user numbers of Meta’s other platforms like Facebook and Instagram, which have billions of users. Twitter, for example, has around 350 million users. The current user numbers of Threads can be seen either as a positive or negative, depending on your perspective.

Although Threads is gaining popularity, it still lacks the massive user base of other social media giants. Furthermore, a surge of users can lead to an unpredictable experience, making it more difficult to curate your feed.

On the other hand, if Threads’ meteoric rise fizzles out, there may not be enough people on the platform to keep it interesting or sustainable. Many of your favorite individuals and organizations may have not yet made the switch to Threads. It might be wise to wait and observe how the user base of Threads develops.
