Are you going to try Meta's Threads? (self.technology)

Will people here use/try Meta's #threads when available? Would love to know the reasons or if it would be just for fun/curiosity.

The amount of data collected is insane imo.

The question came to my mind when a friend of mine which is photographer said that he would try it (even when he's some privacy advocate) because that would help him in his business. Also other two tech-savy comrades said that they may try it just for fun/curiosity.

And thanks for the reply, I'm not going to use it as well.

Hm, the photographer business makes sense, unfortunate but understandable. If I were to try Threads, I still won't, I'd do so behind 7 proxies and a VPN lol
