POLITICS COMING TO THREADS
Who could have seen this coming?
It was July of 2023 when Instagram boss Adam Mosseri said this:
“Politics and hard news are inevitably going to show up on Threads – they have on Instagram as well to some extent – but we’re not going to do anything to encourage those verticals.”
But now?
“Our intention is to introduce political recommendations in a responsible and personalized way, which means more for people who want this content and less for those who do not.”
Several friends have said they’re glad Threads wasn’t super political, and a nice change of pace from Twitter.
But when your town hall is run by a bunch of money hungry clowns who are desperate to appease the new regime, this is what you get. The “food court” that you thought was still an okay place to hang out was always destined for this outcome.
