The reason threads is considered a success at Meta is because it'd be a marketing failure otherwise. In days past, my team there owned a product that hit over 100M MAU, and it wasn't attention-worthy in any way. It eventually got shutdown and the team disbanded.

This statement is meaningless without knowing what the product, revenue and its Total Addressable Market are. 100M MAU out of 1.5B TAM is not attention-worthy. Twitter at it's peak had 550M MAU, so Threads doing close to 20% of that in less than a year is impressive.
