Thats what they were going for, the head of Threads said they wanted to create a spin on the @ symbol

This was a possibility at a time when AirBNBs were significantly cheaper than hotels but now that prices have gone way up I’m right back to going for hotels. Not worth going through the trouble of not knowing what to expect / what kind of renter you’ll be dealing with when there’s no price incentive anymore.

Uber is still significantly cheaper and more convenient than a cab for me.

I’m going to start throwing “edit: thanks for the gold kind stranger!” on the end of my comments just to induce some nostalgic cringe.
