@small44, did you already have an Instagram account and get automatically signed up? Just curious if that is what they are doing to get so many users.

I believe that it's creating the threads account based on your Instagram credentials just like you get signed up on many sites without your Google account

What they're doing is making it very easy to sign up. You just need to go to your Instagram and click a few buttons and you've created a threads account.

Then my guess is a lot of users are seeing something new and clicking along out of curiosity. Then they walk away and don't look at it again :-)
