Comment on Twitter (X) loses over 30% of users in two months!
RocketBoots@programming.dev 1 year agoI haven’t had the chance to look up the data myself, but if downloads did decline in a way that’s unprecedented its a strong loss leader.

Declining downloads simply means a slowing of growth, whereas this is claiming a user decline. That only shows up in traffic logs, transit commits, or CDN account usage data.

Not necessarily.
Every time someone buys a new device they have to reinstall the app. So declining downloads could be indicitive of less users.

Yeah and also, in capitalism, if a company ceases to grow, there’s a good chance it will vaporize soon after. It’s not a causation, but it’s a notable correlation.

Yup! There are people out there with big pockets watching for stats much subtler than this. It doesn’t always mean much taken on its own, but as a whole can paint an interesting picture.

Phone replacement is a high seasonality situation. CDN usage and access logs will absolutely show whether usage has declined or not. Release an iPhone and you see a major spike in new downloads, otherwise it’s probably all pretty much background noise.
My guess is everything involving Twitter has been on a decline, and the things I did know I’m not able to share.
