Before watching it, can you explain what you meant in reference to his comment? Thanks.
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?
This makes sense. Thank you.
