no matter what i try to do, the feed was just filled with corporate or famous content creators making stupid threads. i don’t mind if there are lack of content to feed me if the feed is filled with only the people i follow but let me have an option to have that. even twitter has that option (until musk decides to nuke it too)

Correction:
People join new thing, find out it’s ran by a data farmer who already runs two bigger platforms, then stop using when they know this.

boo hoo
Relax shareholders, zuck has been through this with Facebook, reels, and stories. Monetization of threads by ads will come soon.
This article neglects to point out that the initial join up number was a deceptive and manipulative corporate strategy which amounts to smoke and mirrors. 100 million people didn’t join up for threads! Meta created a placeholder account for every Instagram account in existence. People were able to follow an account that the owner of never made or approved of. Then to top it off, Meta made it initially impossible to delete said placeholder unless you delete your whole Instagram. Nice retention strategy. Too bad it smells like a corporate dump on it’s users. When it became possible for people to delete it without losing Instagram it halved overnight. But they got the big media headline, and that’s all that matters right. Meta, and threads, is just a pathetic attempt to retain the centralized control of
customerpeopleuseraccount holder data, identity and advertising profile as we transition into web3. Don’t be lazy. Take control of your own data and identity. These corporate assholes have proven beyond any doubt that they despise people and will abuse you, your rights and privacy without hesitation or remorse. Just quit those broken and failed centralized corporate web2 advertising platforms already.
