Will Threads last? I don’t know. It is an app stuffed with verified users I’ve never heard of who have 7 million YouTube subscribers. They all do Epic Pranks and they spread Positive Vibes and they Don’t Talk Politics Here.

As no one can delete their Threads accounts without deleting their Instagram accounts, I'm sure it will last. Users will likely get bored and leave, but Zuck will likely show the advertisers „hey, there are millions of users already here and no one is leaving. Here's how many you can reach!”.

Kind of how @mastodonusercount displays accounts over on Mastodon, but you don't know how active are them or if they are still using the said accounts.
