Hated Threads? Too late. You can't delete your account without deleting your Instagram account first

That’s one way to boost retention 😂

Pokémon rusemane OP Jul 6, 2023

I hope smart people will know to look at DAU rates instead of retention

Good thing I didn’t sign up. Scummy behavior from a company known for violating the privacy and security of their users. If something’s too good to be true, it usually is. TC: 90K

Cool, but, why post your TC on every comment? and a lot of comments that too It's a fine TC tho ngl or being sarcastic either. Just out of curiosity

MRM TWG_202023 Jul 6, 2023

Salary transparency is something I hold very dear, and Blind encourages that as part of our culture. Ideally it would be included with every comment, but by sharing my TC with every comment, I can help others to share their TC and YOE (mine is 3).

Did anyone really expect anything less?

Requiring an IG account prevented me from signing up in the first place. Twitter was nice because I could make as many random accounts as I wanted.

To be fair you can make as many random insta accounts as you want

And that's a good thing. The lack of burners will make for a much less toxic environment

is that a big deal? I dont care

It's technically a way of misleading people on the product's success. Many people will not question metrics about daily active users vs actual number of users to see whether a product is actually succeeding. Reports will say "oooo Threads is growing". People may think it's a good investment opportunity, buy Meta stocks because they believed in Threads' potential where in fact it may not be the case.

Same old story. Most instagram users will click on it because they will click on anything in front of them, but it counts as a threads user forever even if they never use it.

Don't tell me you read every user agreement before signing up to any platform

Of course not, nobody does, which is the point. The initial rush of new users aren’t people desperately waiting to get on threads.

If you delete your Amazon account, all your Kindle books and other digital goods are gone.

Son of a bisch. I wanted to see what it’s about, now I can’t delete my account.
