The only surprising thing is that it took this long.

I haven't used threads, I just assumed it already had ads

There must be an enshitification chart where time is on one axis and DAU is on another, where it's considered the perfect time to enshitifiy due to peak username or some shit

Imagine that someone has that job. They make and present that chart in meetings. That person exists and is why we can’t have nice things.
