Assuming you are actually asking a question - because they sound the same and who cares when you’re just typing a quick response in what might not be your first language.
Yep, that’s why. Native english speakers in my part of the world even have trouble remembering the difference because ‘than’ is actually pronounced the same as ‘then’ in normal conversation. It is a common thing for people to call others out for as an easy ‘win’ on the internet, so sorry if my tone was defensive.
Why people use “then” instead of “than” ?

I understand. However, I didn’t downvote you. 😕
I’m not worried about a couple of down votes, but thanks. I did up vote yours in case other people have the same question.
