I really hope this is a complete failure, like Meta itself.

    This is untrue. Threads accounts are reserved for the matching Instagram user, but those users have to actually choose for that account to be opened. If all Instagram accounts were auto-converted to Threads accounts there’d be over 1 billion Threads accounts. The 100 million Threads users are all people who have specifically opted to have a Threads account.

      yeah, but to be fair we don’t have a good number of those who opted out because to delete the Threads account you have to delete your Instagram account.

      A significant number may simple have noped out after seeing no follow feed.
