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.

I don't see anything wrong with this

So they peer pressure Insta users to use Threads?

They're so gross lol

Holy shit that's why they bundled it in with Instagram? So they can inflate the adoption rate?

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!
