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.

    I don’t have enough technical knowledge to know how to trust a provider or make my own.

    Ads are basically invisible to me now anyway. Theyre just instructions on where to click or to keep scrolling.

        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.
