I have never (and will never) use Threads. This ad on Facebook shows a screenshot clearly depicting someone having commented on a photo of mine that doesn’t exist. Deceptive, garbage marketing practices from a deceptive garbage tech company. It’s extremely easy to see a tech-illiterate person creating a Threads account just to see what photo of them is on there and who is commenting on it.

And before anyone mentions it, yes I use Facebook. Very minimally. My entire family lives thousands of miles away and Facebook is all I have to feel connected with them.

    If its free, that means youre not the customer youre the product. Im not tech savvy enough to know what kind of product I am with something like that.

    I wouldn’t know how to even begin finding out.

        I guess its where you draw the line on what’s an acceptable level. I don’t think either of us will be downloading HALFLIFE3BETA.EXE from thepiratebay, even though all you have to do is install it and thats it.
