Threads did the same thing. Explosive growth followed by silence. Social media grows over time. It's not a constant gigantic upward slope.
Most people are content consumers, not creators. It looks like the exodus was largely that if users so...
The problem is that quite a few content creators become entrenched using their platform and they don't want to move on. Just look at all the journalists and human rights advocated still using Twitter. Now they're being doxxed and their platform destroyed but they still won't leave.
Problem with threads (for me I know) is that I ended up following most of the same accounts i follow on Instagram and they post almost exactly the same content, so it becomes kinda pointless.
