So, Instagram has started pushing threads into users’ feed, and every now and then we get a glimpse into the unmoderated crapshoot that is that app…
L.E.: should be noted I do not have a threads account, have never even downloaded the app, this is sorta like “advertising” to try to convince you to move to their platform.
Advertising threads in this way is also super annoying. Meta mashes so much shit into instagram’s timeline that there’s barely any timeline left. 1 post I care about at the top to get me interested, the rest is a preview for threads, ads and suggested posts.
This product is so fucking user hostile and I can’t understand how so many people are still actively using it.
They spend a lot of research effort to figure out how much crap they can get away with. But yeah, it’s depressing that they can do this and people will still use the app. Unfortunately, pandering to the lowest common denominator seems to be the only successful business model in the social media space.
