- This was a crazy week for social media apps, but first the gang talks about the Zenfone 10 now that Andrew has had a chance to use it for a week or two. Then they talk about CZcams testing and Twitter implementing a (temporary?) rate limit on the same Reddit officially started charging for its API. After that, it's all about Threads. The new Twitter-clone that that Meta just launched which Marques had early access to for the last few days. He gives his first impressions on the app and talks about what makes it interesting before we end it all with some trivia. Follow us on Threads if you have the app! Links below.

My reaction to ads is either one of two things: I either don't notice the ad or (if it is too annoying) I will just pull the ripcord and leave the whole site. I happily pay to have an ad free experience on sites I use every day (YT/Spotify), but if I'm browsing Twitch and I am faced with 6 30-second ads back to back before I can even watch a second of the streamers content, I will literally just close the website and go watch YT or something. Not worth my time.
As a former Twitch enthusiast, it's the only reason I purchased Twitch Turbo: I essentially Lived on the site so having ads gone was mandatory. And it sucks too because some channels had ads disabled Only If I subbed to them so it kinda left me getting gifted subs rather than supporting them myself.
I used to pay for yt premium for 2yrs then google said hi u have to use credit card from the same county currency ur using , so I simply can’t pay for premium because I’m from a country where premium is not available and I don’t have credit from another country so WTF GOOGLE !
@@williamhalstediqJust about every company does that for licensing/copywrite in YT/YT Music has region specific music and videos that are verified by address and location of payment currency
There’s many websites that are just unusable without Adblock, it’s really too bad.
@@psicosis4 yep I noticed that when I use spotify,firstspotify did not exist in my country like a year ago and when it did , there is no podcasts, audiobooks, even some of the music aren't available. It sucks.
Threads discussion starts at 37:10
bless you
Thank youuuu
Thx
Doing the Lords work.
Thanks
You guys should definitely add a wider angle of the three of you for the podcast in the future. There are a lot of moments where Marques and one of the other two are playing off each other and I feel that missing in those moments.
Yah that would be a banger addition
I wish it wasn't Meta who made Threads. I don't trust Zuck
The thing is that nobody worth trusting is capable of making a serious Twitter competitor
I don’t trust Zuck either but I’m already on instagram, so this feels like an extension of that. Better than both Musk and Zuck having my data. I fully expect Meta to ruin Threads when they start monetizing but we have a few years until then. When that time comes I’m sure a new competitor will arise.
Agreed
I don't trust Meta either but I trust Musk even less.

The tweet limit caused an actual problem for the Chicago NASCAR race because the organizers were only communicating through Twitter during the rain delays.
Who would’ve thought?
NASCAR being dumb 😂
@@thetechrealistoutside of that one day, it would've been fine. Musk didn't offer any warning.
Sounds like people using a platform for something it wasn't meant to do. 🤷♂️
Data scraping prob by Zuckerberg was the reason for limits

Came for the threads, stayed for trivia
I think CZcams should allow creators to insert their own sponsored ads without them having to be baked into the video. This would allow sponsored videos to be skipped for premium users and allow creators to have relevant channel sponsors (so you're not watching an old video about a giveaway that happened 5 years ago).
💯💯💯 how many youtubers I supported on Patreon that had to upload ad-free videos or podcasts there and I seldom took advantage of it cuz I just watched their stuff on CZcams where I still get their baked in ads despite having CZcams Premium..
That's a genius idea actually
This is A GREAT idea
Thats a terrible idea. CZcams wouldn't make any money
@@Random_dud31 presumably CZcams would still run their own pre-roll or mid roll ads that have the 45/55 cut or they would take a cut of the sponsored ad segments.
Essentially this would give premium users the opportunity to skip a video sponsor and allow creators to replace a sponsor in a single video with a channel sponsor that way that way the sponsor spots are more relevant.
I hate that these ad conversations don’t acknowledge the privacy impact.
Back in the day our tvs weren’t cataloging every piece of our existence as we watched a made for tv ad.
37:10 Start of Threads conversation
🤍
Andrew correcting himself of how bad the Reddit app is was properly hilarious.
I'm missing Sync Pro a lot. Fantastic app.
As a part of gen z, I'm seeing a lot of my friends (myself included) jump onto the threads train that never previously used Twitter- I wonder if this is a trend that's gonna be noticeable.
I've seen the same thing!
Gen z is so retarded, just does whatever is popular in the moment. No actual thought process.
Threads is alot less toxic than Twitter so far.
Only in the US. Other people in other part of the world, even their Gen Z, think that it's a trash. Only good for influencers, not for users.
Early internet ads were also terrible. They would take up 10-25% of the entire page. And on a 28k or 56k modem, loading a ad that covers that much of your screen just dumps your entire experience. Then the ads with pop ups got rediculous - like 4-5 pop ups, each with music. Early ads were spam. Google really evolved that space to where they work and its more of a cooperative relationship. I used netscape back in the day and 15%+ of your brower was permenent rotating ads, it was obnoxious.
28k, rural country bumpkin gang 🫡
You can tell this was recorded before Threads dropped because they didn't drop everything and talk about that first. Because since it went live, EVERYTHING has been about Threads.
The part that confused me about Threads is the lack of #hashtag and trending. The current search system only shows accounts, not the "topic". I think the words and conversation should still be priority.
@@Nathan-jc3nc copied you mean?😅 Definitely! It's just weird that they didn't start with the most basic of functions on the get go.
Meta tried to kill CZcams with igtv, they tried to kill Snapchat with slingshot, they tried to kill TikTok with reels. Will threads be different? I don’t think so, i think it’s just initial hype, like mixer and probably like kick.
The main difference is that all those competing services were all doing well and had users actually liked them. Fb/meta had an uphill climb to grab marketshare.
Twitter is falling apart and it's users are actively looking for alternatives.
Threads is the low effort, "oh, I already have instagram" easy option for many folks.
@@huangnator How exactly is Twitter falling apart?

@@elck3have you been on twitter lately? The algorithm now pushes verified accounts to the top of everything so before I see most of the tweets and replies I want to read I have to sift through a bunch of Elon fanboys and MAGA nuts to get there. That’s what killed it for me
@@theobservarator6424Meanwhile, once you connect to Threads, you can't delete it without deleting your Instagram, also, your private data will be sold to the highest bidder (you know, Mark loves your private data), Threads censors any dissenting voices that goes against their narrative, it doesn't offer free speech, You truly trust Zuckerborg?? Really😂😂😂
Congrats David 🎉❤❤
Man! I most say i like chemistry that the team has, I love the podcast. Keep them coming ✌️
As some others have pointed out, the Palm Pre is the first smartphone with wireless charging as a possibility. The technicalities about it requiring a separate back don't eliminate it from the question and the charging ability was included later anyway. The question has to be very specific for it to be the Nokia 920.
The Palm Pre 2 had the feature built in without needing to replace the back cover like the first one. It launched a year ahead of the 920 so I think the answer was wrong no matter what.
Palm was my gut reaction to that question. But was it Qi charging? I think they mean Qi with wireless.
@@ProfWereW I get what you’re saying, but they didn’t specify that in the question.
Nothing will kill Twitter, PERIOD.
True true
Started as a fan of the MKBHD channel only, but i've become glued to these full podcasts recently. And at an hour minimum that means a lot.
Same
Same...
It's perfect for background at work when doing more repetitive work. Same with ColdFusion's Through the Web podcast. I can listen to my favorite creators for a long period of time, whereas I can't view the main channel vids because I would be glued them and couldn't focus enough on the task at hand :)
Very calming I love these guys.
I'm surprised you didn't mention that Threads will have ActivityPub support after launch, for those out of the loop that means it will be cross compatible with Mastodon as well as Tumblr when they also implement it. Imo this largely solves the lack of people problem from Mastodon, you'll be able to follow threads accounts from your Masto account and vice versa so you won't have to use Threads if you don't want
Great discussions this episode tho!
Really agree with this one also BlueSky
Its decentralized! This is the biggest anti-Meta and most exciting aspect of Threads. I am frustrated that this was not part of the discussion.
@@TommyNimbin it’s funny for him to totally dismiss the technology.
But they did mention that.
@@TommyNimbin Listen again. They literally talked about it and called it a PR move.
You guys have convinced me to get the family plan for CZcams!
The clause of them deleting your IG if you delete your Threads account is like a hostage situation....and the insane privacy policy. Like making a deal with the devil...and holding a sign "hey please spy on me 24/7". It makes Facebook and Instagram look like privacy advocates.
David's Arc Browser analogies are on point. Cheers to productivity and focus!
Wasn’t the palm pre the first smartphone with wireless charging?
It didn't come with out if the box though, you had to buy the special back cover.
@@Call_Me_David- They didn't preface it as built in.
Beat me to it, SOB. Laugh. Shout out to the old mobile nerds
The Palm Pre 2 had the feature out of the box in 2011. The Lumia 920 was launched a year later.
Came here to say that as well, The Palm Pre deserved better and was way ahead of the industry ok release
Zenfone 10 has the same dimensions as the base s23 which has a 6.1" screen which should make s23 the best compact phone with Sgen2
Do we really want to give meta ANOTHER chance to turn a good social media into Facebook? Instagram has a rate limit and as someone who spends all his off time on their conversing with people i get capped on a regular basis.

isn't zenfone the same size as a regular iphone or galaxy s23?
I think it's more similar to regular s series than s10e.
It’s just as tall as those phones but 3 millimeters less wide.
s23 and iphone14 are a little bit larger, 6.1 inches
but i think any phone goes smaller than 5.9 would be too difficult to properly use
Thanks to Andrew for bringing this point to light, but just some specifics (L x W measurements in mm):
131.5 x 64.2 - iPhone 13 mini
146.5 x 68.1 - ZenFone 9 & 10
146.7 x 71.5 - iPhone 14
But now the interesting part… the ZenFone is thicker than iPhone, so its total volume is actually 10.97-14.63% (for the zf9-zf10) BIGGER than the iPhone 14 (not a mini).
Even the iPhone 14 Pro is a significantly smaller phone than either ZenFone by volume.
Still like it though, I’m just very sad a true mini form factor is dead, and I probably would’ve switched to ZF if it was actually iPhone mini sized, but I’m sticking with my 13 mini
The iPhone 13 Mini (131.5 x 64.2) is also significantly smaller than the current iPhone SE (138.4 x 67.3).
True. I’m hoping in a year or 2 Apple resurrects the mini as an SE 3
I have a mini and I think this will last me 3 more years so I wouldn’t jump to upgrading it anyway right now just hope that somehow apple releases a new mini in 2 years
just wanted to note that the cameras on the zenfone 10 have a huge ring around them making them look bigger than they are, so the stabilization is pretty much all software. (still, props to asus for pulling that off!)
Not used to having a social media not know what I want to see. 80% of the Threads I see are from people I’ve never interacted with before
run. don't use social media
The problem with the threads “people” is it’s largely an audience that use ig and not twitter. Therefore it’s people using it like ig stories or posts.
The use case by its audience is still a little misunderstood
Yes, influencers are only using it to talk or engage with their followers, theres no real time conversation
But it doesn't literally need to be Twitter 2.0 . The usage of it can be decided by the users. I don't think it needs to fill the entire same purpose
@@KCisScreaming thats true, but the thing is if what is becoming is enough to get people engage for a long time, after the hype
I wonder if Threads is definitely going to be Activity Pub or not. Because whether they implement it or not (or how much of it they do), you may have that be a great repository for Mastodon accounts (after all, what we call Mastodon is an implementation of a "Twitter-like" social network using the Activity Pub protocol. And after all, they were at some point interested in using it.
16:45 kids are missing out on those linear TV commercials though! 90s cartoons on Nickelodeon and ABC/Disney's 1 Saturday Morning are burned into my brain- so nostalgic.
Also 17:02 - that little jingle reminds me of Earthbound for the SNES. Same way the battle music starts for early easy enemies + some in Dungeon Man
Just finished listening to this on Spotify and I realized, I've literally listened to each and every episode without fail 😅😅
Imagine if you could leave the comment in the spotify app. And it would link it all together
Ikr that would honestly be great
I have this issue with Threats in the perspective of an artist. If you’re part of the artist community, you will know that the algorithm is just straight out crap where it pushes only reels, even a single image reel, more than their posts themselves, and that the posts have a really hard time reaching your own audience, where sometimes it will be less than 10% of your followers that even see it, much less interact with it, which is natural. Plus, the feed isn’t natural, it’s based on this algorithm, and you can’t change that like in Twitter. Also the censorship in Instagram was much worse than in Twitter and CZcams, and that’s already a low standard. It was such a great platform before the zucchini bought it and it has just gotten worse and worse since 2020. Let’s say Threats is great right now. Who says it won’t just turn into Instagram 2.0?!
The outro/break music is so good like what
Wasn’t the Palm Pre the first phone with wireless charging? I was a bit young at the time but I recall hearing that it was using a proprietary wireless charging system (not Qi). I also recall that the galaxy s3 had a wireless charging back available for it, because my friend in high school actually had one! So I’m confused on the answers for trivia here
s23 smaller?
The answer to the first question is wrong. The Palm Pre supported wireless charging back in 2009. It was one of the big selling points of the Palm Pre.
I stopped expecting facts from Waveform like a year ago
It didn't come with it out of the box though.
@@Call_Me_David what do you mean? The wireless charging back was included with the phone? Yeah the wireless charger was sold separately but that’s always been the case?
@@zaclaramay When I bought it, it didn't come with the wireless charging back. You had to buy a kit that had the replacement back and the charging base.
From Wikipedia:
"The Touchstone Charger requires a compatible back cover, which was sold separately from the Pre but included in subsequent models."
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Pre
@@Call_Me_David yup I forgot that it was included with my Palm Pre Plus but not the first Sprint version. but that doesn’t change the point that it’s still the first smartphone to include wireless charging?
I'm so happy to see Zenfones getting some recognition. I had the 6 and 7 and loved them. I only switched to the pixel because Zenfones had so little services available in the US and I couldn't repair my 7 when I dropped it and broke the volume button
51:04 as a prevalent user of the original threads, the main reason I'd say people used it was that it was literally just Instagram without the feed. it really helped me cut down my usage of Instagram and i was pretty sad when they shut it down
The palm pre was the first phone with wireless charging. It came out in 2009
Facts. He didn't preface it as out of the box capable which Marques answer of S2 would have predated the S6 as well.
Would love some timestamps on this video!
I don't know if ya'll talk about it at some point (i've only watched the first half), but on android you can actually very easily patch the third party reddit apps with your own API key and keep using them even with access to NSFW content. There's a bunch of guides out there, it took me all of 5 minutes and I've been using sync since.
I honestly hope it stays under the radar. I really need reddit to not kill those off too.
i was waiting eagerly on this
I think we should all take some time away from social media
He comments on CZcams
As we are watching CZcams lol
@@EthanBeer6 Haha I see the irony but to me, CZcams is more TV than social media. I use this platform way differently than I’d use Facebook or Twitter if that makes sense.
is the s23 a small phone? because the s23 and the zenfone 10 are the literal same size. I guess yes, now :)
People have forgotten what a small phone is lol. 6inches is not small.
They are the same height but the the s23 is 3 mm wider.
@@hastyscorpion I double checked on phonearena’s size comparison - the s23 is actually .01 inch smaller in length and thickness (but yes, actually .11 inches wider). This correlates with the mm changes. … I dunno though. The distinction seems pretty arbitrary …
But I’m typing this response on my 13 mini, so. It just feels like at a point “small” no longer matters if a phone is that big.
You guys are great 👍🏼. Love you guys 😊
Trivia Break for this podcast is like Pokemon on tv back in the day. "Who's that Pokemon?"
"I'm not used to something this small" Damn. Andrew just flexed on all of us 💀
That's what she said.
0:10 : Is Asus's only 2 OS updates rather than 4 or 5 not a problem? For long term use, I feel it's a problem
Oh no, I was going to get points on that one! The Palm Pre and the Touch Stone! Had wireless charging and released in 2009!!
The problem with calling the zen phone a small phone is it’s barely smaller than the iPhone 14 pro. Maybe on the android size it’s considered small but it’s still inaccurate to call it a “small” phone.
If the overwhelming majority of phones made these days are more than 6 inches, then a phone that’s under 6 inches is a small phone. It’s half an inch below the average size for 2022, which doesn’t sound like much but that’s most of the difference between Apple’s “normal” and “pro max” sized displays. Half an inch is a lot of difference when you’re working with handheld displays.
its around 3.5mm less wide which is about the difference between you're iPhone and an s21 ultra which is quite a big phone not just in height.
@@sparky6757the *screen* is 5.9" diagonal. The body is, on the other hand, 0.2mm *taller* and 1.8mm *thicker* than the S23 which has a larger screen thanks to slimmer bezels and being a bit wider.
@@nickthaskater That’s pretty cool, love when a product markets itself in a way that’s technically true but deceptive
@@sparky6757 it's more so that all the tech CZcamsrs are just parroting the marketing as though this is some uniquely small device when both the S22 and S23 are shorter and thinner.
15:03 I’m more and more okay with CZcams ads because in comparison with things like Hulu it’s nothing, but what’s odd is the ability to click “stop seeing this ad” on some, and the button being completely gone. Whether it’s horror, propaganda, or completely unrelated to me, it’s in CZcams’s interest to serve better ads. And creators need to get paid
If the ads pops up like banner under video Im okay with it, or we could skipp the ads, but 30s ada 2x is bad, I hate it so much
Even worse when ads are Literal Episodes of shows, even WORSER when ads are FULL MOVIES. And if it's a movie I was curious about, I probably fell asleep and woke up to it half done LOL
@@RivandaBakhtiar Wait until you realize that banner ads make barely any money and does not produce enough cash flow to even just sustain CZcams.
Sick smooth outro! Andrew's back, baby!
Congrats on the regular season win, David!
I think it would be great if Elon and Mark had an MMA match and the loser has to shut down their "twitter" platform.
I dont their investors would like that lol
Feel like Elon would be egotistical enough to say Yes to that
I'm not mad at that but they could also option 'One way ticket to Mars' for the loser
I’d love to see zuck knock elon the f**k out!
on the zenfone 10, I'd like to refute the common claim that small phones are good for people who want to use their phone less, the reason that I like a smaller phone is because I use my phone *so much*, I need one that's not awkward to hold when out and about and doesn't look to conspicuous when I'm on it constantly
This
been waiting for this one 😂😁
Mastodon is not down all the time... If it is for you, then you need to switch instances and move to a better one.
If Threads and Tumblr actually join the Fediverse, then the threat of one all powerful company owning social media is greatly reduced. You can just migrate yourself and your followers to another instance if Meta gets weird.
Lol Tumblr
That's a nice joke

This channel has a separate hate for Windows Phone 😂. In 2012, smartphones looked horrible. Lumia 920 was sucha great design.

Twitter is better than Threads.
Thankfully there are ways to get Sync for Reddit to keep working via revanced patches and setting it up as your own app. I cannot work with the default reddit app/"new" reddit layout.
I haven't done much research on the Zenphone 9/10, but the specs comparison puts it just under the s23 which is the same price. I would love to see a comparison between both.
The Asus Zenfone 10 is not a small phone.
- iPhone 13 Mini (131.5 x 64.2 x 7.65 mm | 141 g)
- Samsung Galaxy S23 (146.3 x 70.9 x 7.6mm | 168 g)
- Asus Zenfone 10 (146.5 x 68.1 x 9.4 mm | 172 g)
- iPhone 14 (146.7 x 71.5 x 7.80 mm | 172 g)
Also, at 4:45, why are they talking about the Apple iPhone SE (2022) (138.4 x 67.3 x 7.3 mm | 144 g), when the iPhone 13 Mini (131.5 x 64.2 x 7.65 mm | 141 g) is significantly smaller and still being sold today?
The smallest Android "flagship" phone is the S23 (I say it that way because the S23 is not the flagship in Samsung's range, but it has great specs anyway, if not the storage and RAM vs. the Zenfone). I happen to prefer the UI approach of Asus and the and battery life of the Zenfone, so went for the 10, otherwise not much in it. The camera experience overall would be better on the S23 due to various reasons, but in some shots I prefer the Zenfone's results. Nothing beats Pixel (in Android), for my eyes though.
@@TheChiraagG What are you talking about? The S23 IS a flagship. Your flawed logic would imply that the Zenfone 10 is not flagship, because Asus ROG Phones exist.
@@JohnSmith-gb8hd semantics. Yes, it is a flagship spec phone, but in the model range of "S23" clearly the Ultra is the flagship (and if you need help with definitions Google exists). The ROG phones is a different model range. I am not denying the flagship quality, and explicitly saying why I used the nomenclature in quotation marks. Please don't get your back up over this, there's better uses of your energies.
Threads has been nice so far❤
Until they censor or black your content
@Miklooo774 yup. jist like Facebook. as long ad u have thrbright politics. it's not a toensquare.
Loving Threads! It’s fresh yet familiar, and it will hopefully get better.
This podcast makes me happy ❤
Maybe I’m out of the loop, but I have never understood the default Reddit app hate. I just have never experienced anything that can make me understand why people NEED a secondary app (other than accessibility). But I do feel for those who have gotten used to it for years and those affected by the situation as a whole
Honestly Twitter's biggest power is it users. Like the most famous guys over there are not going to try a new app so soon!
But it's not exactly risky to switch to since your account transfers from instagram, so there's a much larger install base rather than a new startup app
All Trump has to do is tweet "I'm back" and this new threads experiment is over in half a second.
@javiazar well thread's could be a big app for the leftist and the non-political, so it does have a lot of potential.
Especially considering it got more than 50mill users in just over a day.
It's bigger power is that it's basically unrated. Videos, pictures and opinions that would all be removed from IG/Meta
@@javiazar I guess, but that would realistically never happen since he's invested so much into Truth Social, so I don't imagine he leaves that anytime soon
Wow need to get one of those Zenfone
I could never forget about ads, even with Premium, there’s not a single video without a mid-roll sponsor.
I find it funny how everyone cared so much about privacy, but as soon as they had to give it up to hate on what was popular to hate on (Twitter), they just sold their privacy back to Meta without hesitation. Really goes to show that most of what everyone does on social media is nothing more than trying to do what's popular rather than to actually do what's right.
Ok
Yep war against the freedom hating Elon requires some sacrifices.
Just because something is widely hated, doesn’t mean it’s suddenly hated because it’s hated. Elon’s mishandling of Twitter quickly grew into a staggeringly long list. From his public harassment of his own employees to his sharing of flagrantly transphobic and homophobic content - it’s become clear to anyone paying attention that Twitter is a wildly toxic place.
Thread’s popularity is a testament to just how shitty of a person Elon is. He managed to outshit Zuckerberg. That took dedication.
@@gfyGoogle Bravo👏 spot on.
@@gfyGoogle I can see that, honestly! I have seen the complaints about Twitter. Although, I just do find it weird that suddenly privacy doesn't matter anymore just to "stick it" to one guy. Basically, sacrificing a human right and enslaving your data to Meta which has been the exact opposite of what people have wanted in the past few years.
I just don't see how undoing all that work to get people away from Meta can be helpful overall regardless of the reason. It's like it was all meant for show and not actually because anyone cared about privacy, and the big, objectively evil, corporation that is Meta is now winning again.
However, thank you for explaining that point! Although I don't really understand fully to agree, I do appreciate it as it helps me understand why some are leaving Twitter and it makes a little more sense that I didn't see before. :D
Threads is a facebook, instagram, WhatsApp killer more than a Twitter killer...
Not really
Some videos now a days include sections in the seek bar which will tell you which section talks about what. Is it possible to start having those in these large podcast videos? That way I can jump to the section I want to see?
500 character limit, up to 10 images per post, 5 min max duration video on Threads
Threads has already started censoring content 🙁
sad, what did they censor
@@user-qi3hf8ko3qidk what he's referring to but most of it is just NSFW
Of course they did. Did you actually expect them not to? It’s instagram.
I have threads and it’s gonna be a good app for creators just wait and see. We talk about not trusting companies with our information but they’ve always had our information. We can’t run from it. 😂
They have been taking ever since we all signed their TOS
but some are worse than others. And Meta is the worst of the worst
@@BuriedDutchman yeah but I would rather meta than Elon
@@MrNoir93 why?

Elon wants free speech

This is my friday evening ritual now, but now that it late into the afternoon and I've seen this I have to hold back till it's evening
My Palm Pre (2009) had Wireless Charging.
That Nokia was the first one with Qi Wireless Charging.
...man I loved the Palm Pre...
Threads has an advantage, when people can get thousands of engagements day one it'll keep them there. I haven't seen much about politics, mostly rich content, dank memes, harmless shitposts. It's a different vibe, I haven't spent a minute correcting anyones made up bullshit so that's a W. Twitter is just such an inescapably depressing hellscape.
It the same people. The app isn’t depressing. It’s the people. The people will just go somewhere else and do the same thing.
@@JJohnson313 the people are the app, obv I don't mean it's UI. Some toxic Twitter brains will follow to Threads but they won't have any pay2win advantage.
@@ComboBreakerHD For now, I'd like to believe. But first they need to get it up and running in the EU lol
Threads is a conversation platform where u get banned for having a conversation.
And Twitter is a platform where you get banned for saying cisgender
About ads…in PL, to watch a movie at the cinemas, you face 20/25 minutes of ads (and I’m not talking about movie trailers)
zenfone 10 still not available in USA
No chapters?
I wont ever forgive CZcams for removing the dislike buttons NEVER.
The add on CZcams is out of control, down right annoying.
CZcams should let premium subscribers see the dislike button. I can't stress this enough. Only being able to see the positive is ridiculous.
In my opinion bye bye Twitter, hello Threads.
"twitter killer" is a slight exaggeration 😬
it just seems these people want to be in echo chambers and are really addicted to social media.
FRIDAY HAS ARRIVED!
love yall and everything you do 👊
What boom mic stand are y’all using ?
Threads definitely has huge potential to beat out twitter, and honestly I'm rooting for it
I hope not. I'm rooting against it.
I'll never root for censorship.
By being the copycat social media site. It's not even subtle I;
Now we need a CZcams killer with the dislike button
Rumble exists.
The Palm Pre had wireless charging and came out in 2009, before the Nokia 920
it’s been a little while since i was pumped about a wvfrm pod episode…
