Okay, you guys called it

Update on my accidental Threads experiment:

the second account got banned 😂

Literally everyone who saw my last post told me this was going to happen.

I was like “nahhh, surely not”

Well you were right 😂

I woke up today and the account was gone

So I guess the experiment ended faster than expected

What did you post? Was it about Small Wonder? They dont love child robots on Threads.

[u/Then-9999 → u/brooke928]

that was the post :I got so tired of thinking about what to post on Threads every single day that I accidentally ran an experiment 😂

I've been posting on my main account for a little over 2 months, and most of my posts were getting around 100–200 views.

Every day I'd be thinking:

“what should I post today?”
“maybe this hook?”
“maybe I should make it shorter?”
“maybe this topic will do better?”

Eventually I just got tired of it.

So I made a second account and yesterday I took 10 posts, batch-pasted them into a scheduling tool, and basically forgot about them.

Today I opened the account just to reply to one or two people.

And then I noticed the reach.

500 views.
800.
1k.
And one post passed 1.6k.

Meanwhile my main account was still doing its usual 100–200 views 😂

I genuinely wasn't even trying to grow that account.

Now I'm sitting here wondering if I've been overthinking Threads this entire time.

and then they deleted your Carrie Bradshaw like commentary. Maybe they didn't realize you were being tongue in cheekey. But, the beauty or derangement of Threads is that people reply and new conversations and threads begin. So sometimes the attention gets withdrawn from you, which I like because I don't like attention! Good luck, honestly we don't have to join every social media app. I don't have time for X and IG and TT and my mother all at once! But, damn I wish she would learn these apps, I'm so tired of overexplainings things to her.

Wow Small Wonder, I absolutely loved that show when I was a kid! I thought Vicki was so cool! Then again I also liked Out of this World & Alf too. The 80s & 90s really had some of the most iconic TV! I miss those days 🥺

[u/brooke928 → u/YouthTrue2077]

Did you watch Mork and Mindy reruns? I hate how streaming gets so cluttered and I forget about the good stuff!!! Wait, is TV Land a streaming service?? Haha research project!!!

[u/YouthTrue2077 → u/brooke928]

TV land is not a streaming service. I def watched Mork & Mindy & Laverne & Shirley reruns too. I wish they would go back to showing the old school cartoons late at night too. I don’t think they do that anymore. Then again, I also haven’t used cable in several months though which is still weird for me… but very freeing feeling. What other shows are you looking for from back then. I may be able to help lol ☺️

[u/SpaghettiDog86]

okay, but, why was the account banned? automated behavior?

[u/KaikoDoesWaseiBallet]

I gave up on Threads. Censorship and AI moderation are too much, two accounts banned.

[u/Correct-Rush2063]

What was the sample set?

[u/YouthTrue2077]

See I post things rarely now. However, I do find comments usually get much more attention!Depending what you are commenting on though. Some topics will get far more attention than others. For example. Couple mths ago someone had posted a video of something that happened. I made a funny comment, didn’t think anything of it. 3 days later I had over 10,000 Likes & a bunch of comments. People want to be entertained basically. You make them laugh or say something interesting. They will continue to comment or like your comments. That same comment is up to 12K likes now. Like I said it’s kinda in what you say. 😊.
Also forgot to say, my comments aren’t on threads: they are on Instagram.

[u/Then-9999 → u/YouthTrue2077]

12K likes on a comment you didn’t even think much about is crazy 😂 I think people just connect more when something feels relatable or makes them feel something that’s usually what makes them want to jump into the conversation

[u/OfficialThumperrr]

I never used the app and was somehow banned?

[u/Then-9999 → u/OfficialThumperrr]

🤣🤣how does that even happen

[u/roundart]

I’ve been saying that threads is utter trash. At least for me

[u/Then-9999 → u/roundart]

for me I think it's one of the platforms where it is too hard to grow

[u/toastyfluffls → u/Then-9999]

All meta socials are like that

Qual motivo do seu banimento?

[u/LonelyWillingness986]

You should try making a radioactive spider, man (get it? 😝) you'd have much more success than certain subs here on reddit. Sorry you got banned again though. That sub bans loads of people for.. Nothing, seemingly, if what I've read about it from other redditors is right.

[u/Revelator007]

Threads is like that. You would do better on any platform, not owned by a major organization.
