ChatGPT achieved a previously unheard-of rate of growth of reaching 100 million users in just two months, however since its launch on July 6, Threads has racked up a staggering 100 million users in only five days, according to data tracking company Quiver Quantitative.
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, said that the response from users to Threads has been “way beyond our expectations.”
The site saw 10 million registrations inside the first seven hours, 30 million users on its first day, and over 70 million sign-ups the following day.
Numerous people have observed that this registration record has already surpassed the one set by OpenAI’s ChatGPT in January, two months after it was made available to the public as a test beta in November 2022. It took tech brands years to get 100 million active users prior to those milestones. 100 million active users on Facebook were reached after four and a half years.
People flocked to ChatGPT in droves to sign up for the chatbot that could answer to text prompts as if there were a human on the other end thanks to the novel interest in text-to-speech artificial intelligence.
The early-adopted Threads seem to be well-liked by users overall, with only a few criticisms that highlight how it differs from Twitter.
Although features like hashtags have already been introduced, more enhancements are anticipated as Threads expands.
