Comment on TikTok uninstalls are up 150% following U.S. joint venture

No, your example is only a 50% increase. A 150% increase of 1000 is 2500.

Assuming cnbc clickbait headlines can math of course. Bold assumption.

My comment wasn’t about the article, it was about the other commenter’s bad math. But the article does actually say it increased by 150%.

Yup, my comment wasn’t about your good math, it was about my low expectations of the source :)
