Ads have finally arrived on Threads.

They said they were coming soon and these showed up on my timeline today.

#Threads #SocialMedia #Fediverse

A sponsored advertisement from Wendy’s on Threads. The ad features a stylized Dave’s Single burger, edited with exaggerated anime-style eyes, blushing cheeks, and a Wendy’s-branded sports jersey. The burger is also depicted with cartoonish arms, one of which is spinning a basketball. The background is pink with sparkles, giving it a playful aesthetic. The text on the image reads, “at least this ad is cute and v sporty.” Above the image, the caption from Wendy’s humorously acknowledges that it is indeed an ad, stating, “Is this an ad? Yes. But does it have a fresh Dave’s Single wearing a lil jersey? Maybe.” The post has engagement metrics at the bottom, including 2.1K likes, 60 comments, 8 reposts, and 76 saves, indicating user interaction.
A sponsored advertisement on Threads for the upcoming movie Drop The Movie, set to release in theaters on April 11. The ad features the popular meme of a man in a yellow jacket rubbing his hands together and peeking from behind a tree. The meme text reads, “WHEN YOUR FRIEND HASN’T SEEN THE DROP TRAILER.” Above the image, the caption states, “It’s gonna be a killer time. See #DropTheMovie only in theaters April 11.” The ad also includes a link to the movie’s website, dropthemovie.com. At the bottom, engagement metrics show 1.1K likes, 35 comments, 2 reposts, and 80 saves.

I assumed it would be more subtle to start out, like boosting people who pay money. Like how X does it.

Yeah, it’s hard to get traction for certain kinds of conversations here, admittedly 😔

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.
