My Two Cents: How THREADS Can Take off!
Threads has been out now for a few weeks, gone through a couple of updates to improve the user experience, and I must say - why wasn't this done sooner?

I love it, though I am yet to use it as much as I would love to for a couple of reasons.

To begin with, I look at Threads in relation to the way I view Twitter. Not a fair comparison - I know! But ideally, that is where threads should be headed. An active, fluid, beautiful and responsive bit of tech but on a decentralized platform.

Threads, right now in its infacy, struggles especially in relation to the UI. I am sorry! The Leofinance UI kills the user experience on Threads since it is more built towards long-form content.

If you see where I am going with this, I think it would be an excellent idea to delink Threads from Leofinance. Of course, having a link on the site that redirects you to (Threads.io) 👀 wouldn't be such a bad idea.

A dedicated app for Threads would be so good too. The number of times I click open up the Twitter App in a day is just crazy. In fact, it is the number 1 app that is draining my phone battery on a daily basis. 

Furthermore, having Threads under the Leofinance banner probably puts a hard cap on how much the product can grow. While there is a whole variety of content on there, the interaction is clearly mainly confined to finance content. Let's take the ball and chain off so that I can actively banter @blanchy and @belemo on Threads when their premier league teams suck a$$!

Finally, even though I mentioned it earlier, UI is everything. A good looking text style, cleaner hashtags, cleaner and fuller text bubbles that stands out from the background.

---
NB: I just wanted to add that I recognise the amount of resources (financial and personel) required to build this massive Leoverse. I definitely don't take that for granted. The Leofinance team are quite exceptional and it is why I am hodling for the longterm.
---

Anyway, let me get off the toilet and end it here. It is fascinating how much you can introspect when taking a dump!

Also, sorry for any grammar mistakes. I am typing on my phone on the excellent mobile version of Leofinance.

I haven't really used it much to be honest. For some reason the gods of Hive and Steem before that have beaten me into thinking writing a line or two of content is cheating so I'm wary of this new platform. I do enjoy making fun of United however so may give it a go. 😀😀

RE: RE: My Two Cents: How THREADS Can Take off!
So true. There is some conditioning to view rewards for such content as a mortal sin! Maybe a hard cap on rewards would help, or having 10-90 reward split rather than 50-50. Who knows.

Oh, btw, I am backing Spurs this weekend. For some reason I can't stand Arsenal.

I think the app will be the "gamechanger" and trigger further adoption.

RE: RE: My Two Cents: How THREADS Can Take off!
I think so too. I have a feeling it would get incredibly popular.
