I think Twitter is tanking because of Twitter. Remains to be seen if Threads has any legs or if it will be the next Google+, Periscope, Meerkat, etc.
They should have just like, kept Google+ on life support. It could have had one hell of a second wind in the wake of these huge social media bungles
But someone already got promoted for that project, so why keep it around?
True, and someone else got promoted for killing it
Hey, at least they didn't blame Millennials for "killing the tweet industry".
Seriously, Threads just came at the right time. If Google had introduced their own Twitter-like thing around now, I'm sure they'd be getting enough signups that they might not consider cancelling it right away!
