Starting a profile on Threads is a good idea for a bunch of reasons, especially if you’re looking for a fresh and dynamic audience. 

What makes Threads worth your time is its close connection to Instagram, which makes it super easy to follow people you already know. If you've built a following on Instagram, you can quickly get traction on Threads without much extra effort.

Unlike Instagram's focus on visuals, Threads is where text-based posts thrive. It's where people share thoughts, dive into debates, and discuss trends, creating space for deeper conversations compared to the image-heavy vibe on Instagram.

And since Threads is still relatively new, there's less competition, giving you a great chance to stand out.

Early adopters can really establish themselves as key voices or influencers in their community before the platform gets more crowded.
