Honestly surprised there are no ads yet. I thought that was the whole point of the website...
You don't raise temperature while the frog is in the pond.
I don't understand this metaphor. Is it about frog breeding for later eating? Why else would you want to heat your pond, irrespective of the frog. And why is there a greater incentive to heat the pond when there's no frog, and vice versa? So many questions!
I interpreted it as you don't heat the pot while the frog is still in the pond. You only apply heat slowly once the front is already in the pot.
Don't load up the ads until the users are already on Threads. Wait until they are active on Threads, then crank up the ads when it's more difficult for the users to leave.
