  In the social media world it’s unsustainable growth or die.

  They’ve gone down 10% in 2 quarters. It’s still a huge problem.

    Imagine losing 10% of your paycheck quarter to quater…

    Sort of surprised the reverse of the network effect isn’t as fast - but then I remember there’s still people paying AOL for internet.

      AOL can’t possibly still be an isp right? I know some people kept their email accounts and they probably still run email servers and a web portal.

        In 2015, 2.1 million people were still using AOL’s dial-up service. That revenue stream has dried up. The number of dial-up users is now “in the low thousands,” according to a person familiar with the matter. - Source (2021)

  Yeah that’s 20% of the population of the EU (total population figure of 450 million used). It’s mental that after all of the things that have happened recently, 1 in 5 people still use Xitter and that’s not even excluding babies.

  sorta surprises me it was higher under him. One thing that annoys me with the local news broadcast is the various social media lists in the info graphic part at the bottom of the screen.
