Okay, let me rephrase that.

That’s easy to achieve if you use a massive billion-person platform to aggressively push Threads on everyone’s faces and make it very easy to accidentally create an account.

Better?

Indeed it is better, because that's actually the truth.

I’ve actually not gotten any sort of advertising about it from Instagram/Meta, be in the the app or email or anything. I’ve only seen the tech blogs and people on twitter posting about it organically, so I wouldn't say they're aggressively pushing it, at least right now

Do people accidentally download an app and then sign in there regularly or just this one time?

You should see my grandma’s phone. It’s full of apps from ads.

I’m pretty sure there’s 10 million grandmas.

Do you really believe that 10 million gramdma who were on Instagram has now opened threads account or are you just zucking with me?

They have 30 million users now btw.
