🎤🌟 What’s Good With 15 Top Celebs Jumpin’ On Threads?
Meta’s new app, Threads, is movin’ up with 100 million downloads in just a week. Looked like Threads was ’bout to snatch that crown from Twitter 🚀. But quick downloads don’t mean the win is sealed.
Now the question hangin’ around is if Threads gonna last.
So we cooked up an experiment. Rounded up 15 of the hottest names from Twitter who hopped on Threads. We talkin’ ’bout Katy Perry, Ellen DeGeneres, Bill Gates, Britney Spears, Shakira, and Oprah Winfrey. We compared what they were up to on Twitter and Threads since they dropped Threads on July 5. Even took a peek at their moves on Instagram, all under Meta’s roof 📸.
Wanted to see which social platform was keepin’ these high-flyers engaged. Just a glimpse, but it might shed some light on where Threads is headed.
A Lot of Celebs Were Feelin’ Threads At First 🥳
Ms. DeGeneres, been on Twitter since ’08, went quiet since April. When Threads hit, she was in that first wave of 3,000 people.
“Welcome to Gay Twitter!” is what she put out on Threads on July 5. The word spread with over 7,000 replies.
Out of 15 celebrities, she was one of three who were done with Twitter and came alive on Threads. Selena Gomez and Ms. Winfrey were the other two, both went silent on Twitter since January. Ms. Gomez hollered at her fans on Threads, while Ms. Winfrey was promotin’ a musical remake of “The Color Purple” that she produced 🎬.
Wiz Khalifa Was All Over Threads, Then Cooled Off ❄️
This rapper was the only one we followed who was puttin’ up more than ten posts a day on Threads.
Out of those celebrities, Wiz Khalifa was holdin’ it down on Threads, puttin’ out posts and sharing what others were sayin’.
Wiz, or Cameron Jibril Thomaz, was droppin’ 38 posts a day on Threads in the first two weeks, and only five a day on Twitter.
But then the rapper’s game on Threads started to slow down. From July 16, he was gettin’ busy on Twitter, sometimes more than 10 times a day. He’s still on Threads, but he’s puttin’ the same content on both 🔄.
Some Celebs Treatin’ Threads and Twitter the Same 🤷♂️
Jimmy Fallon, Shakira, Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan were among those who were postin’ the same stuff on Twitter and Threads. Seemed like they didn’t see no difference between the two.
Instagram Takes the Win! 🏆
Of the 15 celebrities tracked who joined Threads, four — Ms. Perry, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, and Miley Cyrus — didn’t even post on the new app.
The love for Threads seemed to fade. Shakira, active on Threads during the first week, hadn’t posted since July 13. Ms. DeGeneres, postin’ six times her first week, only did once in the past week 😴.
Users spendin’ 3.3 minutes a day on Threads as of Monday, down from 19 minutes on July 6. But they’re spendin’ an average of 60 minutes on Instagram and 29.3 minutes on Twitter, according to Sensor Tower.
Instagram was poppin’ with more than half of the celebrities in the past three weeks. Ms. Kardashian was on Instagram for 16 days, none on Threads, and three on Twitter. She was puttin’ out 19 Instagram posts and 16 tweets.
Ms. Spears was on Instagram for 14 days, three on Threads, three on Twitter. She posted 35 times on Instagram, compared to five times each on Threads and Twitter.
But it shows the rocky road of social media. The singer briefly killed her Instagram on Saturday — which also shut down her Threads, since they’re connected — before turnin’ it back on 😲.
Time will tell if Threads has what it takes, but this is the snapshot we’ve got for now. 🧐
