Thanks for the shoutout. I wrote that post off the top of my head hoping to generate some conversation about Threads, social media, how we connect online. Your insights into how people use Threads, and why, helped me better understand it so thank you. I adore your observation here that TikTok and YouTube aren’t social media services… “They’re Media Consumption services.” So true.

I don’t know if you saw yesterdays’s WaPo opinion piece, “The problem with social media is that it exists at all” by Eduardo Porter. It’s about a group of economists who studied social media usage and figured this out. Made me smile.
