200M daily users seems like a suspect number. For comparison, Slack reports 5 million daily users: https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/15/slack-is-reportedly-raising

Seems like giphy is counting some things they shouldn't. If a giphy gets embedded on the page, maybe they count every single impression of that gif as a daily user?
I'd be shocked if anywhere near 200M people actually had accounts on the giphy website.
- tinus_hn 9y agoWhatsApp allows you to send gifs you download and search for on the Giphy site. That probably accounts for a lot of users.
- reustle 9y agoFacebook messenger as well

But, if they can turn a reasonable number of those impressions into sponsored impressions, it's kind of beside the point. Although doing the numbers, 5% paid impressions on 200M daily impressions at $5 CPM is only $50K daily or $18.25M yearly...
