You seem possibly right, looking at some data with ChatGPT. It collected the following data:
Year
MAUs (Millions)
Growth Rate (%)
2013
90
95.65
2014
174
93.33
2015
199
14.37
2017
250
25.63
2018
331
32.40
2019
430
29.91
2020
619
43.95
2021
861
39.10
2022
1195
38.79
and graph:
2019 seems to have had a decrease in growth compared to 2018, maybe that’s attributable to the redesign? If nothing else, the redesign doesn’t look so impactful.
Where are these Reddit numbers coming from? I can’t actually find 2013-2017 in the supposed sources, and they look like garbage: how do you go from a >90% annual growth rate to <15% in a single year? And when I search for relevant numbers, it looks like those early numbers might be ‘unique visitors’, which is usually a completely different metric from logged-in users like MAU.

… I should not have trusted ChatGPT so much. Sorry & thanks for the time correcting my mistake.
