Saw my first Threads ad. It stood out because it doesn't match the vibe of my home feed at all. The "Sponsored" label is so faint I almost missed it (my reaction was why the hell is this post in my feed?).
Instagram is actually really good at showing me ads I'm interested in, so I know Meta can do this better.
