It's all impressive, but you still have to make a product that people want to use. Most independent sources say X has lost ~10% of its DAU QoQ. D1, D7, D30 retention all down. If engineering efficiency is their north star, then kudos; but business metrics are suffering.

I'm a touch skeptical of the "bot sweep" explanation for declining DAUs. Effect is about the same on iOS as Android even though bots tend to be operated from Android / web clients + iPhone install base went from 16% > 14%. I also feel like they'd be out there saying this explicitly if it were a major contributor.
