    I mean, should we believe them? Your source did an estimation too. I agree, that’s why I commented the same. 3% of paid customers which is not as huge as you’d expect Not sure what the interest is around percentages, I suppose an estimate of 20million is more than a few content creators. That’s nearly Australia’s population

      700mil is slightly over 2x USA population. And?

      We can bend this logic a bit more. We have 8 billion people on this planet, and only Pakistan would be paying for a service that the rest of the world is using but not paying for.

      We are talking about percentages here. 20mil is a lot. But 3% is not so much in the grand scheme of things.
