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 think novelty is an unfortunately large part of this. I day unfortunately because I think it’s very lame that we find creating accounts on servers providing the same service as another service we already an account on … interesting.

    “We were promised flying cars and instead got 160 characters”. Well now we’ve got 160 characters … twice?!

    Meaningless superficial cheap FOMO weaponised as advertising fodder. Shameful really.
