Threads is being bootstrapped off an existing billion user social network and completely aligns to Meta's core values and business model.

It's pretty much the complete opposite of Google+.

I'm saying that FB wouldn't have needed to resort to this lousy strategy if that "alignment" that you mention would have given them enough numbers all by itself.

As such, adding a dying social-media activity ("short" texting) to a fading social-media property (IG) is also less than ideal for Meta the company.
