Probably because it's a complete mess. I joined as I was curious and don't really care if I have to delete my Instagram account to get rid of my Threads account. You follow people and then barely see their updates.
From what I've heard about the feel it's a giant data (=cash) grab. Sorta like how Google+ was a me-too and never took off.
The massive inrush is like what happens when the new restaurant opens in town. Everyone goes once or twice to check it out but if it sucks it will still fail even if it is super busy the first week.
Mobile only is a no-go for me. Sorry Zuck.
A mobile only platform is pretty much destined to be the lowest quality social media site around.
Just having a keyboard and mouse makes thoughtful expression so much easier.

Shocking news
A flood of brands I can't opt out of--I gotta mute/block each of them individually--no bookmarks or drafts for Threads I might like to come back to, no fuckin' gifs, mobile only, de-prioritization of news...
Tbh it's just kinda lame.
Just like twitter rose to prominence as being one stolen feature of facebook (that being the contemporary facebook’s “status”), Meta must pull a single feature from its long-dead predecessors. I demand platform where you list 6 of the people you know from Most favorite to Least, the top three being Tom, Air-humping Storm Trooper and Tila Tequila. That is the only thing that can undo the unknown energies of the Blue Bird,
