    I don’t get why anyone even uses it. There are other better options that aren’t run by Facebook.

      It’s an awareness thing. Everyone uses it because everyone else uses it, because it’s the main one people know about, because Meta has unlimited money to market it and scale it, which are exorbitantly expensive.

      Most people are some combination of lazy, uninformed, stressed, and stupid. Can’t think long term, just trying to get to tomorrow.

      Not complicated.

      1. The value of any social network is its’ users more than anything. They’ll use it in spite of it being super shitty if the people they want to follow are on it.

      2. Threads basically created “one-click account creation” with Instagram so the onboarding was seamless.

      3. They capitalized on the Muskification of Twitter.
