<p>Not OP but I just watched the episode he's referring to - Season 3, Episode 9, titled "Daily Active Users" where the company reaches a huge number of installs before realizing that the metric that matters is not number of downloads but number of daily active users (actual users as opposed to people checking out the product once) - so he means to say that the number of downloads is less important, scaling matters at sustained use and returning customers I guess?</p>

<p>I don't see the option to add a comment there, I was a bit late to the party as it took my org some time to draft our roles, but when I logged in to post today, I couldn't see the Add a comment option I see usually?
Possible answers: The thread is time limited and I missed the deadline?
Some sort of account ban due to low karma? (62)
Or some inactivity log (unlikely)</p>
