    Especially after all the spam on Facebook like:

    “RANDOM_FRIEND wants to get in touch with you on Threads™!”

    “RANDOM_FRIEND just posted something on Threads™! Check it out!”

    Etc etc

    And then the interleaving of Threads™ teaser posts amongst Facebook posts with half a sentence and then “…” and any interaction with it prompts you to join threads so you can read the rest of that sentence that hooked you in…

    Or the “easy and fun™” way that every Instagram account has a Threads™ account just waiting to be activated by you.

    I wonder how much of a user base they would have without all the jamming it down user’s throats.

      That’s curious, I use Facebook a lot for local and niche interest groups and have never seen any cross-promotion of other Meta services. Probably an EU thing.

      Yeah this makes me so very very happy I do not use Facebook or Instagram, because that sounds like an absolutely awful experience which would make me very very annoyed.
