Obviously. It’s linked to Instagram, so it’s gonna be a another playground for “influencers” to milk their fans.

This strategy sounds perfect: ensuring Threads isn’t the destination of choice for serious discussion. Thanks for sentencing your new product to death, Adam.

Yeah! A great way instantly destroy the value of it for a bunch of Twitter subcultures like Politicians, Journalists, Media outlets in general.

Like, what’s the point of this app and the launch window if you’re instantly going to turn off lots of prominent users?

Sidenote: I would not trust Meta at all regarding ads and politics, we’ve seen in the last five years on why not.

Of course not it’s to collect all your data as much as possible and sell to the highest bidder. Wonder Meta hasn’t bought out one of those ancestry companies so they can start collecting people physical data along with their digital.

Be pretty simple force them to have a Facebook account and or Threads and man the data they could get.

Because basically its what they want with their terms of use.

I swear if they really wanted to, they could do that and build a database on par with federal government departments.

Make it open source and searchable, and they could fuck up society.

Only mindless drivel is allowed here on Threads. Please continue consuming and not thinking.

It feels like if Twitter and LinkedIn had a baby, it would be Threads.
