“Since our priority is to build consumer value first and foremost, there are no ads or monetization features currently on Threads,” a Meta spokesperson said in an emailed response.

The spokesperson then continued, “But only until early 2025. Then we’ll be throwing consumer value in the trash and lighting it on fire. It will be very exciting.”
