Why Meta's THREADS Will FAIL · Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show!

  Here's my first question about Mark Zuckerberg's Twitter competitor, Threads. Now, a
• 0:06
  Facebook is for people to post pictures of their grandchildren, and Instagram is for
• 0:12
  people's grandchildren to post pictures of their asses. Then what is Threads for?
• 0:18
  Is it for grandchildren to post pictures of their grandparents' asses? I have no
• 0:23
  idea, but it looks like it's off to a great start and also a
• 0:27
  terrible start. Now. Apparently twenty three million people signed up right away,
• 0:31
  so you have to think that's a pretty good start. Not that unsurprising considering
• 0:36
  how big Meta is, or Facebook, Instagram, all of that, you
• 0:39
  know what I'm talking about. But also apparently they're just already censoring people right
• 0:45
  away on day one. I mean, here at Mark Zuckerberg's new Twitter like
• 0:49
  app, already censoring users. Here from Michael Schellenberger at Mark Zuckerberg, the
• 0:55
  founder of Meta's new app, Threads, has promised users a better experienced in
• 1:00
  Twitter, but he is censoring users and offering no avenue for appeal. Here's
• 1:06
  DC Draino, who I believe is actually just kind of a middle of the
• 1:08
  road conservative. He said first five minutes on Threads and already censored wat a
• 1:14
  platform, So I guess people looked him up and they came across this.
• 1:18
  Are you sure you want to follow dc Drano? This account has repeatedly posted
• 1:23
  false information that was reviewed by independent fact checkers or went against our community guidelines.
• 1:30
  So that just means wrong think because we know that every mainstream media outlet
• 1:36
  is constantly publishing false information and sometimes they even get fact checked. But I'm
• 1:42
  pretty sure they're going to have no problem getting accounts on threads. Here's another
• 1:47
  on Derek Uteley, chairman of ex Strategies LLC and Star Defense Industries, and
• 1:53
  he wrote meta Instagram just released their new threads platform, and I've been informed
• 1:59
  by multiple I'm censored on their new platform. Cheeh, can't a dude catch
• 2:04
  a break? Elon Musk doesn't have me censored? And again it's the same
• 2:07
  message here, and I guess it's not strictly censorship. You can still subscribe
• 2:12
  to it, but they're trying to get you not to subscribe to it.
• 2:15
  And it's just obvious what way this is going to go. And that's why
• 2:20
  leftists are already flocking there, because they know that Zuck will censor anything they
• 2:24
  don't like. But I think the problem and the reason why Threads will not
• 2:29
  overtake Twitter, and I think it will flounder is because no one else will
• 2:35
  be interested, So it'll just end up being a left wing echo chamber.
• 2:38
  And as a big left wing echo chamber, it's going to become a big
• 2:43
  purity test with leftists attacking each other for not being empathetic enough or woke enough
• 2:50
  whatever. Because of that, it will become unbelievably toxic, with the least
• 2:54
  far left users being bullied into just going back to Twitter, which actually they
• 3:01
  never actually left in the first place. I mean, did you really think
• 3:06
  they're going to give up all those followers, those followers they work so hard
• 3:08
  for, They're going to give up all those retweets and likes that are basically
• 3:13
  their brains only source of endorphins. No, hell no, because I'm telling
• 3:17
  you, yeah, you get all your Instagram followers on there, but the
• 3:21
  people who use Instagram like Instagram, and they probably don't feel a need to
• 3:25
  post their dinner or their ass on any other platform, especially when they realize
• 3:30
  they're getting a fraction of the interactions on Threads and nobody remotely concern nobody with
• 3:37
  remotely sane ideas is going to go to this platform because they know they're just
• 3:40
  going to get censored. It's going to be a waste of time. I
• 3:44
  mean, the people that are on Twitter now like the new Twitter, and
• 3:46
  they like the fact they can monetize it, and they like the fact they're
• 3:50
  going to be able to monetize it more and more as time goes on.
• 3:53
  That's a big incentive. And there's other reasons to look at this. From
• 3:57
  Stephen Miller, Threads is a transparent effort by reigning financial and political powers to
• 4:02
  extinguish free speech and assert undivided control over the national narrative and access to info.
• 4:10
  They will mind your private data, filter your news, manipulate your opinion,
• 4:15
  and silence your voice. And he's responding to this tweet. Don't for
• 4:17
  a second think that the DNC isn't going to mobilize everyone and everything to make
• 4:24
  Threads the new center of mass for breaking news and social media. And I
• 4:28
  don't think it's going to work, because I don't think it's going to offer
• 4:30
  anything new or anything that people really want, not enough to actually dedicate enough
• 4:35
  of their social media time to make it work. And here's a good illustration
• 4:40
  of why there's too many apps already, The novelty is gone. Nobody wants
• 4:46
  to be this guy. And before we go, let's take a quick look
• 4:49
  at this. Twitter is threatening to sue Mata over systematic, willful and unlawful
• 4:57
  misappropriation of Twitter's trade seek grits and IP as well as scraping of Twitter's data.
• 5:03
  In a ceased and assist letter sent yesterday to Zuckerberg by Elon's lawyer,
• 5:08
  Alex Spiro, and Elon commented, competition is fine, cheating is not.
• 5:14
  And so what effect will that have? I don't know. I guess we'll
• 5:16
  have to find out. But I don't think it really matters. I think
• 5:20
  this thing's dead in the water. Yeah. Sure, they signed up a
• 5:24
  lot of people, but not that many people. And you still got to
• 5:28
  convince those people to actually use the platform. And if you've got a platform
• 5:31
  that's just going to turn into a cannibalistic echo chamber, that's just not going
• 5:36
  to appeal to the broader public anyway. Please subscribe, like and share sharing
• 5:41
  really helps me out. I thank you for that. I will see you
• 5:44
  next time.
