Okay, let me rephrase that.

That’s easy to achieve if you use a massive billion-person platform to aggressively push Threads on everyone’s faces and make it very easy to accidentally create an account.

Do people accidentally download an app and then sign in there regularly or just this one time?

You should see my grandma’s phone. It’s full of apps from ads.

I’m pretty sure there’s 10 million grandmas.
