    The 100M Threads users isn’t a real thing though is it? Didn’t they just auto-add everyone with an Instagram account and claim that counted?

      There were 100 million users after the first weekend, there’s certainly more now. Threads is using an Instagram account but people still sign up for it and have to download the app. It’s easier, but not automatic.

      And this right here is 100 million monthly active users.

        Do we have any metrics on that number other than Zucc saying “trust me bro”? That would be ridiculously impressive if they’ve actually kept those sort of numbers!

          That was during an earnings call, I think that has a little bit of weight to it and I’m not expecting that to be on the same level as “trust me bro”. But I obviously don’t have any insider info there.
