It's not fair to trivialize the traction that services like Ello are able to get. It's really hard to gain any ground when something is dependent on network effects, especially in a field as competitive as social networking. 6-10k sounds like a perfectly reasonable base to me, and with that inertia, there's no reason to believe it won't continue to grow. All businesses start somewhere (generally much lower than 6-10k, as Ello surely did), even the business that will eventually outcompete Facebook.
- realcheckout 11y agoEllo's DAU is down from 6 months ago. They may be trending up locally, but most of us who gave them a shot when they launched found the site ugly, unusable (buggy, impossible to find friends), and unneeded. I know roughly 4 dozen folks that gave Ello a shot and all of us have not been back.
- dredmorbius 11y agoEllo's DAU is down from 6 months ago. Do you have any sources on that? I can attest to a lot of early-user attrition. But also lots of new users. Churn's part of the game.
