Anyone here think that Threads is a one-off? Of course not. Ten bucks says they're building out an integrated social media suite.

Well, there you have it. The people want social media. Why would make for an interesting study: what are the people missing actually that social media provide?

People are in emotional silos. They don't have the number of friends or acquaintances their grandparents did. They don't go to church or join social/service organizations. Heck, they can't even get a Saturday night date without the internet.
So the internet becomes all. The electronic wife/husband/mother/father/extended family/neighbor. Perception becomes reality.
