…. Does anyone actually use Threads? I’ve never once seen a threads link and I understood the user count was just because every facebook or IG or whatever user automatically got a generated account?

As with most social platforms, it differs massively per country, it would help a lot if people here spent more time considering the diversity of the world.
Ok, but if we have to go looking for it, then its not exactly a juggernaut.
My girlfriend loves it. She’s an immigrant from Kazakhstan and apparently the Kazakh community on Threads is very active. Reminds her of home.
I have also never seen a Threads link. For all the hatred of X, people do actually use it.
75% of Twitter users are bots now, some I'm sure are real people.
But people link almost exclusively to X everywhere, for anything from memes to timely news.

There may be a lot of bots in the comments but the platform is genuinely used by a lot of people, that’s just easily observable.
