Comment on Twitter (X) loses over 30% of users in two months!

  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.

        whole can paint an interesting picture.

        I know there’s meant to be a comma after ‘whole’. But I just pictured someone dumping a whole can of paint on a canvas and yelling “time!” Before walking over and slapping it on an easel at an auction and selling it for millions, while still dripping.

    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.
