daily usage is not the same as user counts
Not to mention the NY Post is not the same thing as credible, non sensational tech journalism.
It could also be timing - I wonder how the holidays affected these numbers.
If it makes the beloved unviable overhyped startup look bad, it must be because of "sensationalism", "bad journalism", or maybe the numbers are just down because of "the holidays". Or maybe if the article is accurate about the drop in daily users, maybe, just maybe, the user count is still the same?? Sometimes it's difficult to accept the truth.
Actually... I think it's because I'm an ex tech journo and am jaded from seeing how reporting like this happens. Not because I particularly care for instagram.
