Do they really want the people who stayed on Facebook that drove out the initial wave of cool users to go to their new site and drove people away too?
I don’t really understand Facebook’s logic here. It’s widely known that throwing money at a social networking site doesn’t create sustainable growth, see Google Plus as an example.
Besides, it seems to me that Threads is just filled with blue checked celeb accounts nowadays and they (usually their social media person) barely ever post anything there, nevermind anything interesting or funny, and I don’t think people actually care for that at all.
If they get good prices for the location, I think this is actually a really good idea.
Most of the time, you are a hot topic selling stranger things shit. Whatever. Buy some shit for your kids.
But when something like tiger king or squid game or whatever becomes a cultural hit? Just look at how every single big youtuber tried to do a “real life squid game” event. People will love to go to an “escape room” style situation where you spend an evening playing a live action video game. And you likely cover the profits for the entire year in a few weeks.
