Does anyone actually use Threads? I don't know one person who uses it.

According to Facebook, everyone with an Instagram account uses threads (because they pretty much automatically signed them all up for it).

And then they'll start charging for it in 2027.

I'm pretty sure they make a lot more money from selling your data than they can possibly make from charging for the API.

I am not a fan of Meta or Zuckerberg at all. And I don't trust them as far as I could throw them (with either personal data or any assumptions that they won't renage on this idea in a year or twos time). But this sly "fuck you reddit" announcement made me chuckle.
