I got on my Threads app tonight, and it asked me to take a survey. Out of curiosity, I agreed. I feel like there’s a theme - both in the posts presented and the negative angle of the questions asked. Maybe I’m on a list now 🙃
Screenshot of Threads survey. At top is an image of a Threads post by Senator Tammy Duckworth that says, “NEW: Next Thursday, on December 11, the Senate Armed Services Committee will finally hold a hearing on the cost that Trump’s military deployments have had on our cities, our civil rights and our servicemembers. The American people and our troops deserve answers.” Below the image are multiple choice survey questions. First question asks, “Did you think this content was offensive or inappropriate?” Answers are Yes, No, Not sure, and I didn’t see this content. Next question asks, “was this content worth your time?” Only the answers “Not at all” and “Barely” are showing, as the rest is cut off. Screenshot of Threads Survey questions. First one is multiple choice and allows multiple selections. It asks, “Which of the following, if any, are things you disliked about the content? Select all that apply. You may need to scroll to see all of the answer choices. Answers are “It was spammy or low-quality,” “This content did not feel unique to Threads (e.g., it seemed reposted from other platforms),” “it was outdated,” “it did not match my interests,” “it was not the kind of content I want to see on Threads,” “I see too much content about this topic on Threads,” “I had seen this content before on Threads,” “none of the above,” and “I do not see the content.” Next question is multiple choice and asks “How likely or unlikely are you to return to Threads to view more content like this?” The only answers showing are “Very unlikely” and “unlikely,” as the rest is cut off. Screenshot of Threads survey. At the top is a picture of a post by Meidas Touch. It is quite posting Kyle Griffin. Kyle’s post reads, “BREAKING ON MSNOW: Brian Cole Jr., the suspect accused of being the Jan. 6 pipe bomber, confessed to agents that he planted the bombs…” the rest is cut off. Meidas Touch’s post reads, “Kash Patel must have forgotten to tell the American people this part yesterday. Must have slipped his mind.” Below the posts are survey questions. First question asks, “Did you think this content was offensive or inappropriate?” Answers are Yes, No, Not sure, and I didn’t see this content. Next question asks, “Which of the following, if any, are things you disliked about this content? Select all that” and the rest is cut off Screenshot of Threads survey. At the top is an image of a Threads post by George Conway, quote posting Jeri Ryan. Jeri’s post reads, “I can’t…facepalm emoji, angry orange cussing face emoji Will someone ANYONE, PLEASE TAKE THIS MORON’S MICROPHONE AWAY?!?” Below her words is some darker text that appears to be part of a post she quote posted. It says, “econ.nick: Joe Rogan: ‘Jesus was born out of a virgin mother. What’s’” and the rest is cut off. Below the posts are survey questions that ask, “Which of the following, if any, are things you disliked about the content? Select all that apply. You may need to scroll to see all of the answer choices. Answers are “It was spammy or low-quality,” “This content did not feel unique to Threads (e.g., it seemed reposted from other platforms),” “it was outdated,” “it did not match my interests,” “it was not the kind of content I want to see on Threads,” “I see too much content about this topic on Threads,” and the rest is cut off.

Translations for those who need it
iPhone translation screen showing “Macron: Poutine aura joue a Trump s’il ne recontre pas Zelenskyy” as the French text translated to “Macron: Putin will have played Trump if he doesn’t meet Zelenskyy” iPhone translation screen showing only the translated English text as “‘If this does not happen by Monday, the deadline set by President Trump, it means that once again, President Putin has played President Trump,’ Macron said….”
