"Last week, the text-based social media platform reported a record 100 million sign-ups in just five days."
LOL The biggest bullshit of the year... Meta just created shadow accounts of all Instagram users, without their knowledge or consent...
100 million isn't that much when it comes to Meta. There's over 2 billion "active" Instagram users that all were prompted to download the app. That means only 0.005% of Instagram accounts fell for it.
I have no doubt that at least that many people tried it out. When I went to the Android App store, Meta was paying for a front and center promotion of Threads.
Your maths is a little off there: 100m is 5%
IT'S JUST A FEW DECIMAL PLACES GIVE ME A BREAK 😆
What’s a few decimal places among friends, right?
while you're correct based on instagram's numbers, the other commenter would be correct if it was a British billion which is a million millions. just a fun fact 🦄
That's true, although the long scale billion hasn't been a thing even in Britain for decades.
If it's fun facts you like, try this: English is the clear odd one out, most other languages use milliard for 10^9 and billion for 10^12.
milliard - love it ty for that. Reminds me of: French: L'ananas Italian: L'ananas Icelandic: Ananas Portuguese: O ananás Swedish: Ananas German: Die Ananas
Eh... Check your math...
Right? Seems like he is off by a couple digits, unless we are missing something
Well, technically... they said "users", not "people". Maybe there are 2E12-1E8 bots... 🙃
