Do people actually believe the 70 million Threads users number?

Iisn't this the company known to have lied about video's popularity. casually destroying an entire industry?

@e_urq The estimate seems low to me. About a sixth of my Instagram followers are also following me on Threads.
@e_urq But I take your point that they can't be trusted. I'd like to see an independent estimate.
@davidradcliffe Right, I'm not arguing against the number itself, just against their being allowed to behave as if they're a trustworthy source of this exact kind of information.
