      It’d be another method to drive traffic to their websites and gain more ad revenue. Same as maintaining a presence on twitter or facebook, or providing an RSS feed.

      Yeah totally.

      I had the thought that since Threads “doesn’t want politics” on their platform, and Twitter is trash, maaaaybe activity pub could be a thing.

      But you are right: they won’t do anything if it won’t make money.

        Isn’t their entire strategy to fish people onto their site, make money that way? Twitter doesn’t pay them either.
