How has threads managed to gain 275m users while producing absolutely zero impact on any other part of society? Are you sure these are actual human beings and not just Instagram users who are being baited into clicking through and "signing up" for a service they don't use?
Am I sure they aren't? No, in fact I think that is exactly what they are. Or people that made an account out of curiosity because it is so easy to do so. However, that delves into speculation and we won't get a full answer on that because Meta will never say.
I'll say -- when I see a single bit of Threads discussion impinge upon my life, the news I read and watch, or any other place that culture happens.
The people who should actually care are advertisers, who are probably getting scammed for vast numbers of dollars.
