Threads Reaches Milestone
Meta’s microblogging platform, Threads, has achieved a significant milestone, with over 100 million daily active users, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced. This marks a substantial growth, complemented by 300 million monthly active users, up from 275 million last month.
Key Highlights:
Rapid Growth: Threads has surged in popularity, benefiting from users migrating from rival platforms.
User-Friendly Features: Rollout of custom feeds, curated account recommendations, and personalized default feed options have sustained growth and attracted new sign-ups.
Scale Advantage: Threads leverages Meta’s wider ecosystem to accelerate growth, remaining far ahead of competitors like Bluesky, which has 25 million users.
Monetization Strategies: Meta explores introducing ads next year to balance user growth with profitability.
Implications
Threads’ rapid growth poses opportunities and challenges for Meta. As the platform continues to evolve, finding a balance between user growth and long-term profitability will be crucial. The introduction of ads in 2025 will be a key test of this balance.
In recent weeks, Meta has been very vocal about Threads’ growth after a lot of people flocked to Bluesky. While Bluesky tracker says that that platform currently has a little over 25 million total users, Zuckerberg shared Monday that Threads has more than 300 million monthly active users. It’s not an apples-to-apples comparison, but it’s clear that Threads is still much larger than Bluesky.
