Automatically creating a shadow account for everyone on Instagram?
Even allowing people to follow that account?
Sounds like they really wanted to push Threads out the door in a big way.
yuck!

So they peer pressure Insta users to use Threads?
I don't see anything wrong with this
I don't see anybody posting there after the first day, save for brand and meme pages
They're so gross lol
Of course that's why they had so many new accounts so fast! And that's why removing the Threads account also deletes your Instagram one! No way a bad app like that, missing the basic features (front what I've read in reviews), would have so many users so fast!
