"It took Picplz six months and two platforms to reach 100,000 users. Instagram acquired that many users within the first week of its launch."
It's a weird, twisted reality we live where 6 months is considered too long to reach 100,000 users.
When I read articles such as these written by the media, I always keep in mind that we entrepreneurs are the men in the arena. It's easy to second guess, and criticize when you're sitting comfortably with zero financial, and emotional risk.

I think it's not so much considered too long as considered too long when a direct competitor does it in a week. If one platform is growing at an explosive rate and the other one is struggling to get users, there's not much you can say beyond "second platform is struggling (comparatively)"
- AznHisoka 15y agothat's true. It's not a bad thing to acquire that many users in a slower rate (just not too slow). You don't want everyone using your product in the beginning when it potentially has warts and all.
