Ads have finally arrived on Threads.
They said they were coming soon and these showed up on my timeline today.
@BeAware I haven’t seen them…..yet. Not sure if that would push me off or not. Ads annoy me.
@MyCart they're pretty frequent on my page now. Can confirm, it's annoying.
@BeAware frustrating
@BeAware just saw an ad. Never noticed as it's in the For You feed and I rarely go there. I think if it shows in the Following I'd be out.
@MyCart they just started showing up today.
@BeAware The best time to leave threads was yesterday. The next best is today.
If they're following the methodology I've been seeing on Facebook, it'll be 2 posts from people you asked to see, and then an ad. Some of the ads with a countdown timer.
I fully expect it to become 1:1 on all Meta sites.
@BeAware So glad I ditched that place and stayed here.
@sandwich valid.
I'm there to talk about pro wrestling and Fediverse.
@BeAware Yeah, it’s hard to get traction for certain kinds of conversations here, admittedly
@sandwich facts. I tried BlueSky but had the same issue and there is a lot of wrestling discussion there.
I wish I were surprised. But these guys could monetize free air.
@monarchist would*
Fixed that for you.
@BeAware I assumed it would be more subtle to start out, like boosting people who pay money. Like how X does it.
@BeAware@mementomori.social imagine these posts coming to the fedi bruh
@AHIRAISSHY they're regular posts so if the business accounts federate, they could.
@AHIRAISSHY you should repost this post:

From your threads account since you have more followers there than me.
