Meta Makes Threads Available to Advertisers Worldwide

In an effort to create alternative revenue streams in the face of brand anxiety over tariffs, Meta said on Wednesday that it will now open up advertising on its social network Threads app available to all marketers and advertisers worldwide, months after it first tested advertisements in a few locations, including the United States. In addition to giving qualified advertisers access to an inventory filter to regulate the sensitivity level of the material that the advertisements appear next to, the extension will enable them to target Threads’ more than 320 million monthly active users.

The Threads app, which was released in July 2023, was positioned as a rival to X, which is controlled by Elon Musk, in an attempt to attract users away from the de facto microblogging site during its turbulent takeover by the billionaire businessman.

According to the firm, all new ad campaigns that employ either Meta’s Advantage+ or Manual Placements will automatically activate the new ad placement within the Threads feed. On the latter strategy, marketers will be able to choose not to be included in the Threads feed.

According to Meta, the advertisements themselves will first only be available in a few markets before gradually expanding to further areas.

As it competes to take the lead in developing generative AI technology, Meta, one of the biggest social media businesses in the world, invests billions of dollars in artificial intelligence infrastructure, primarily through advertising.

Threads has tested advertisements in Japan and the United States thus far.

However, since marketers look for security before committing to large budgets, the growing trade conflict between the US and China threatens ad income. Despite this, some analysts predict that the final two companies to decrease their ad spending will be Google and Meta.

Analysts at MoffettNathanson cautioned on Tuesday that rising trade tensions might cost Meta’s online advertising division $7 billion this year as Chinese e-retailers may reduce their expenditures.

However, the fact that Threads has more than 320 million monthly users and that there is some ambiguity about a possible TikTok ban in the US may help Meta draw in more advertisers.

According to the business, which earlier this year began testing the delivery of advertisements on Threads with a few companies in the US and Japan, the ads will initially be available in a limited number of locations before expanding to other regions.

The growth indicates that Meta believes the Threads community is now strong enough to make money and compete with Elon Musk’s X, its main rival, for advertising cash. Furthermore, Meta claims that because three out of four Threads users currently follow at least one company on the app, its platform is more ad-friendly.

During the company’s most recent earnings call in January, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, informed investors that he anticipates Threads reaching over 1 billion people in the upcoming “several years.” The network has been adding “more than 1 million signups per day,” he added.

But the Threads app itself didn’t develop completely on its own. Instead, when onboarding new users, it built on Instagram’s existing buddy graph, taking use of the network advantages of being linked to Instagram. Because of this, Threads almost immediately started acting as an extension of users’ Instagram networks, allowing them to follow the same friends, companies, and creators as previously.

In its antitrust case before the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, Meta is currently defending that competitive advantage, which was established by owning and running some of the largest social networks in the world. If the government’s prosecution prevails in the trial, Meta may eventually be compelled to sell out Instagram and WhatsApp.

Meta has used ideas from new social networks like Mastodon and Bluesky to help expand Threads.

Similar to Mastodon, Meta is incorporating the ActivityPub protocol into its program, which links Threads to the fediverse, a larger, decentralized open web. Even though that integration is still ongoing, Threads has the potential to surpass Mastodon’s 8+ million registered users and less than 1 million monthly activities as the largest service in the fediverse.

Today, there are more than 16 million users on the fediverse (excluding Threads).

Along with introducing its own version of Bluesky’s Starter Packs, which provide curated lists of suggested users for new users to follow, Threads has also imitated some of Bluesky’s more well-liked features, such as the ability to create bespoke feeds outside of the basic algorithmic feed.

When launching the app, Threads users are still taken to the “For You” feed, in contrast to Bluesky, which currently boasts over 35 million users. Additionally, unlike Bluesky users, they are unable to manage their own moderating options.
