This makes it sound like the user base did not grow quarter-over-quarter before that period (or at least had some quarters with no growth). That strikes me as quite surprising — why would they have been losing users?
I always assumed they would add new users as kids graduate HS or college and join, but very few people would delete their accounts when they retire. Seems like a recipe for an every-growing user base (even if MAUs stay relatively steady).
