I do wonder if Threads will allow rather graphic videos like Twitter does. If it doesn't it will not do well. War videos from Ukraine have been extremely important, and Facebook will need to allow much raunchier and sometimes downright NSFL content to truly be a replacement especially to be relevant to current events which is the main selling point of Twitter for most people.

Completely anecdotal but: “views” as reported by Twitter of tweets on my private account are down roughly 80% YOY. My follower count has dropped slightly. I’ve been on Twitter since 2007. It’s been a roller coaster of fun, annoying, vaguely threatening and the company’s love/hate/begging/hate relationship with API developers has been maddening. It has the feel of every private equity takeover of a previously popular business, except that Musk and Co. failed to extract any value from the company before saddling it with untenable debt.

A view quota is not a feature. Especially when the site was acceptably functional the day before.
