So depressing, I sure hope these stats are bullshit.
I’m willing to bet the new daily active users are largely bots. I remember Facebook pulling this shit last year: bots will count as active users, presumably so they can just keep adding bots and tell shareholders their active user base is growing. It’s all such a scam.
