This might help explain the spectacular launch of Threads - eviltoast

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.

    Actually, to Meta’s credit here, they do transparently say this when you make an account.

    You can send follow requests to all of your Insta friends, and once they activate a Threads profile, they will see any follow requests they may have gotten.
