We got some interesting news on this weeks AMA.
The numbers for June were gone through and announced during the call. There was a breakdown of Threads, blog posts, and comments on blog posts. Honestly, I didnt pay much attention to the last two other to catch they were both up.
What did interest me was the number of threads. The total for the month was 90K. That is obviously 3K per day based upon a 30 day month.
Here is the baseline we are operating from.

Increasing Thread Activity
Over the past few weeks, we have stressed the utility of threadcasts. Each day, we have 10-12 threads set up. Most of these are around a particular topic such as technology, music, sports, or food. We certainly have room for others such as memes, crypto, and politics.
Earlier I did a count and there were roughly 1,200 comments in all the threadcasts. It is important to note this was without a daily threadcast such as the AMA, which can do 500 on its own.
The point here is the day will likely end, when notifications are all answered, around 1,400. If this was pulled out on a monthly scale, that would be 42K alone. That is almost half of what was done in June.
Why do I bring this up?
Growth is an important concept. After years in sales and marketing I learned that it is far easier to market your success. Hence, if we can have a decent growth rate, on a monthly basis, then we could establish a strong talk track.
For example, doing 110K this month would be a greater than 20% jump from June. That is still less than 4,000 threads per day. Of course, if we hit that total, we could be looking at a 33% jump.
In other words, for most people on threads, how hard is it to increase your activity by 33%. If someone is doing 10 threads a day, do 14.
The Compounding Factor
On a digital platform, activity has a way of compounding. This is what creates exponentials or network effects.
With threads, each time we create one, there is the ability for it to compound. A thread can be re-threads, copied/placed elsewhere along with showing up under different tags.
We know that, ultimately, LeoAI will be used to feed recommendations but, for now, we will just focus upon what is available.
One thing that appears to be overlooked is the For You feed. This is something that had a marked improvement over the last couple weeks. It, too, is going to be assisted by LeoAI in the near future. However, for now, it is still a useful tool.
Earlier, I was able to go through my For You feed and commented on 10 threads that were there. I had not seen them throughout the day, so it was content that I was engaging with, just hadnt seen those.
Again, we are looking at a slight increase in our usage.
Many of us are awaiting video integration. That, coupled with the recommend feature could really enhance the activity. This is important for the ad revenue platform which is also being developed.
Alas, that is something else we will simply have to wait for.
The Foundation
Threads is obviously one of the central pieces to LEO. However, there are many components to it. Nothing operates in a vacuum.
With more threads, we can compound the activity. That leads to more page views, which will feed the ad revenue. All the while, the amount of data that is posting to chain is growing, something that feeds LeoAI. Then we have the next stage where, upon rollout, LeoAI will recommend to us more threads, something that we can engage with.
The flywheel was often discussed. If we focus this only upon the financial, we see how, eventually, the greater activity will help to enhance the ad revenue offering (hopefully bringing in more revenue). This will feed the tokenomics, helping to enhance the eventual demand for $LEO.
Of course, in this era, we cannot overlook the flywheel tied to data. This is becoming even more important considering what is being done with it. Even on Leo we see how this can have an impact and affect things in a number of ways.
There are different layers being built on tOP of each other, all feeding into the same barrel. This is how digital platforms operate.
For now, we have to focus upon getting the 90K monthly threads higher. If we can show a few months of M-o-M growth, that will go a long way to establishing a trend. With some of the anticipated features, this could really be enhanced.
