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.
