      I’ve actually not gotten any sort of advertising about it from Instagram/Meta, be in the the app or email or anything. I’ve only seen the tech blogs and people on twitter posting about it organically, so I wouldn’t say they’re aggressively pushing it, at least right now

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