I don't think Threads has ads yet.

No, they're going to start with some kind of sponsored post arrangement similar to Instagram's, iirc, and put in ads when they get a bit bigger.

What's the difference between "sponsored post" and "ads"?

Hi there! The links in your response are not clickable for Lemmy users, here are the clickable versions: !technology@lemmy.world

I'd say it's mostly formatting, and what brands have to do to get them. Sponsored posts are the ones disguised as regular posts, which is easier on some platforms than others.
