I don't know why, I don't know why this comes to mind, but I sort of wonder if like Miley Cyrus twerking sort of like broke that entire, like that thing that it sort of stops being enough.

Like you can't really say like, Oh, like you took a selfie with like the dog filter from Snapchat on you're a slut because like the world had kind of moved on.

Yeah.

Well, the four human users of threads, you know, don't have a lot to talk about.

The fact that we are not getting new women that X users are going after that they found on TikTok to me is a signal that both TikTok and X are kind of losing their edge a bit in a way.

Everything is a short form video app.

The world is clearly shifting.

The culture is clearly shifting.
