Exploding Topics reports n July 7, Thread users spent an average of 21 minutes daily on the app, but now Thread users only spend an average of 3 minutes daily on the app. Twitter has 200 million daily active users who spend an average of 31 minutes per day on the app.
There are differences in how different analysts calculate daily active users and monthly active users.Insider Intelligence expect by the end of 2023, Threads to have 23.7 million monthly users in the US, less than half the user base of X. That equates to 10.4% of social network users and 17.5% of Instagram users.
The big future gamechangers for X will be when SpaceX Starlink can connect directly to cellphones with text, voice and internet. Getting to hundreds of millions and billions of customers with direct communications will enable X to grow to huge numbers of users.

I really don’t think people realise how much of their personal data they give away using Threads. I would not touch that with someone else’s phone.
Theres far more bot activity on X than threads. Wait till threads gets a web interface.
Walmart announced today that it was dropping advertising on X. Elon already announced this boycott was going to kill the company. If there was a way to short X in the markets today, who wouldn’t? MySpace was a big company until it wasn’t.
As far as Starlink is concerned, they still have not launched any V2 satellites with the necessary larger phased array antennas to push more bandwidth to a cell phone. Current estimates are a paltry 2-10 mbs of data down. You can get an emergency alert, but there is no way to watch Youtube. The latency issues would make it almost unusable. There still is no way, even suggested by Starlink, as far as I can find, that a cellphone can uplink/push data to a satellite. You can get a signal down, but not up! Cell phones have regulatory limits on power output to just a couple of watts. Satellites can’t pick up signals that weak. Any power boost to maintain a link would drain your cell phone battery fast. Starlink uses a phased array antenna, your cell phone uses an omnidirectional antenna. Your cell phone would need line of sight to connect, even if the satellite could somehow discern the signal, which it can not. Tall buildings, trees or bad weather would ruin a cell phone to satellite connection.
Lastly Starlink isn’t the only company providing mobile data services. Starlink would have to convince all the current customers of Vodaphone, A.T&T, América Móvil S.A.B, China Mobile and Verizon that their 2-10 mbs, line of sight, internet download service is better than every other providers robust, 5G, connect both ways with speed, low latency service. I just don’t see any reason for the masses to switch their phone/data services from 5G to no G.
Looks like we found Jim Cramer’s alt account.
I mean making bets against Elon during the week when BO buys rocket launches from him and Cybertruck launches.
