> I'm not sure if your comment applies to Threads but if it does, and why not given the short time to launch, that Threads MVP had 100 M app downloads in the first 5 months.

Irrelevant. I'm talking about the feature set, which is not determined by the volume of clients being downloaded.

> I guess that it means that an MVP is all we need.

The clients need content. The business, in order to make money, needs way more than that.



The business needs marketing. Unfortunately the product is not that important.


> The business needs marketing.

For that you need data processing pipelines, user profiling, user segmentation, targetable ads, etc etc etc.

Not to mention infrastructure for moderation.

That's where the bulk of the complexity lies.

"Marketing" is where all the engineering goes.
