Threads hit 100 million users faster than ChatGPT, but Meta is cheating
Threads launched hastily last week to take advantage of Elon Musk's most recent Twitter blunder: limiting the number of tweets people can read. Built on the infrastructure of Instagram, Threads is the most significant Twitter competitor out there. It's also unfinished, with certain features coming down the road. And it's unavailable in the European Union, which has stricter privacy rules than Meta is willing to comply with at this point.
Still, Threads managed to reach 100 million already, and it hit the milestone even faster than the record set by ChatGPT. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was quick to point out the accomplishment. And getting to 100 million within five days of launch is remarkable. But Meta is cheating here. Meta isn't really starting from scratch, getting users like ChatGPT did. Or like other Twitter rivals out there, including Mastodon (7.7 million users) and Bluesky (265,000 users) had to do.
