They gave up all their personal data to see a crappy algo-driven social media site. Meta still considers this a win.
What new personal information did meta get from Instagram users enabling threads?
The real answer is nothing, assuming they already had an Instagram account. People are all up in arms, but the majority of 'signups' were just people clicking the activation button as opposed to creating a new account.
That said, I currently will praise anything that takes more users away from Twitter. Lesser of two evils and all that.
Zuck is not a lesser evil. He's the same evil. And Jeffrey bezos this week is having a laugh because nobody's paying attention to him at the moment.
As LTT said. Threads is the result of the Zuck flicking his tongue out and tasting blood.
But I mean we (society, not me, miss me with that) are still clearly subscribing to a social media site run by the lizard people and calling it an improvement.
Which says a lot.
You have to have blood to be a lizard. That man is as organic as my Playstation
And, unless your Playstation is broken, less fun.
...wait, scratch, that, even if your Playstation is broken, he's less fun.
Not that I disagree much, but... what a world we live in where Meta is the lesser of two evils...
Well, that’s enough internet for today, day drinking anyone?
Day dosing more like it.
