Ok, but what are the counts for uninstalls generally? 150% sounds like a lot, but if it’s only a thousand uninstalls a week then it’s only jumped to 1,500 uninstalls. When there are millions of users, that’s…not very much.
I’m not arguing against progress. I’m just saying they are making it sound like this big exodus when it might be minimal in reality.
If they're up 150% and it was 1000 before, it'd now be 2500. Your point still stands, of course.
Yes, you’re correct. Math is difficult and I forgot to add the 100% on top of the original number. Thank you!
