I'm not clear on how the title relates but I got there eventually!

I think I'm losing interest in this game. The hints are so obscure but once you get them, the game is too easy.

All the words follow part of the answer for those saying they didn't get it.

I got it without the hints but don’t get the theme! Does anyone? Strands #10

Think of another word for a thousand (e.g. pounds). All the answers make a phrase with that word. It took me a while to work that out!

I didn't understand it till someone explained. It's like a cryptic crossword hint [word for one thousand] followers. Tough today!

Ohhhhhh! Now I get it!

Took a while but got it in the end.
