It's really dishonest to say that's the fastest anyone reached 9m DAU. Otherwise you could say the same thing about Facebook Messenger.
It's not any different than Instagram if you're automatically a part of it by clicking on a link on Instagram
I think it's only dishonest if those are not retained.
To say they hit 100m is dishonest but if 9m are sticking around? To me, that counts. Those people are on a whole new platform even if the onboarding was simple.
I think what remains to be seen is exactly that: How long before they're at 4.5M DAU?
Yeah, well I suppose it'll still be on a downward trend. How long can they go, where does the rollercoaster end haha.
Honestly I suppose you can never know. Past successes don't guarantee anything and this could be a total flop that gets shit canned in a few years.
