Neither of these sentences is accurate.
- owenversteeg 10y agoThe first one's an opinion. In the second one, 'most people with Whatsapp do not have Snapchat' is just simple math - there are more than twice as many Whatsapp users compared to Snapchat. 'Most people with Instagram have Snapchat' is anecdotal, sure, but do you think that more than 50% of Instagram active users do not actively use Snapchat? I only know a handful of people that have Instagram that do not have Snapchat, and only two of those people are active Instagram users. From your profile I can see you're a reporter, so if you have any access to hard data about this I'd love to hear what the real numbers are. Thanks!
- exolymph 10y agoInstagram has ~400 million DAUs whereas Snapchat has ~160 million. Even if 100% of Snapchat users have Instagram accounts, it's still not most Instagram users. Maybe you're indexing on a different number, rather than DAUs? Wasn't objecting to the part about Whatsapp, you're right there!
- owenversteeg 10y agoOh shoot, you're right! I only bothered to google Instagram DAUs and didn't even bother for Snapchat, assuming they'd be pretty far past 200MM. I stand corrected. Cheers!
