Time spent on the app dropped over 50% from 20 minutes to 8 minutes, analysts found.

Sensor Tower Data suggests that on Tuesday and Wednesday, daily active users dropped 20% from Saturday while time spent on the platform fell 50% from 20 minutes to 10 minutes. Similarweb’s data reportedly paints a picture equally as grim as daily active users dropped 25% from a peak on July 7 to Monday, while time spent on the app dropped over 50% from 20 minutes to 8 minutes.

Hehe, it's like other fediverse apps but worse and full of ads. Idk. what they were thinking tbh.

It’s infuriating that if you accidentally tap the home button all the threads you would have otherwise read disappear forever. The app desperately needs a chronological option. Everything disappears so fast on it.

How else can they show you more ads/sponsored content?

[-] ForgetReddit@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I get what you mean but there are no ads or sponsored content yet on threads

Oh, gotcha. I figured they would have dirtied it already.
