Growth is actually diminishing. On Jan 17th, we hit our growth peak at 21.73% and it's been going down lately to 7.32% this month and average just above 10,000 new average (or 1.5 to 2 million new subscriptions every 15 days).

So it is still steady but declining unfortunately. We can say that 10.4% of the current user base (~9 million) is subscribed to the top guide; so that is good. But trying to figure out the total unique subscribers is unfortunately proving difficult.

Top 110 guides have 110,000 subscribers each however (top 15 have 400k or above each)

thanks to everyone helping out!

I find candy pretty gross. Except a good chocolate.

And chocolate also works much better for me than coffee for energy. Coffee really doesn't do shit for me.

Are there no valve employees looking at reports during the international, over the last 5 days I've reported 3 people for most blatant intentional feeding and I haven't got a single message that action has been taken against any of them

I'm quite sure there are never any valve employees looking at reports, it's an automated system.

why would any of the 300 of the best employees the game//technology industry has waste their time with the tens of thousands of reports a day complaining about feeders and ragers?

Wtf? A constant % increase would actually be exponential growth.To suggest that the linear growth actually observed over the past few months (which implies a decrease %-wise over time by definition) should be expressed as "declining" doesn't make any sense at all, mathematically or even logically.

I said diminishing. Which means that there is still an observed growth but at a reduced or 'diminished' rate.

Positive growth %, not constant growth percentage.

Because %-growth is usually cited for things like money, where the subject isn't of a specified finite quantity (e.g. compound interest). When you take something like a population, it doesn't make sense. Let's say there's 1000 people playing DOTA. If every month an additional 10 people subscribe to the guides, the %-growth starts decreasing immediately but it isn't logical to suggest that growth is declining after the first month when in reality it's stable, linear growth. The absolute amount of growth could even be increasing over time while the %-growth decreases, which it should by its very nature because you are always approaching a cap. Compared to an investment which has no maximum theoretical value, %-growth becomes more appropriate.

But the absolute growth is actually very consistent recently. It's not diminished. It doesn't make any sense at all to expect constant growth percentage when talking about a finite population. Right now you could get 2.1 million new subscribers the next 15 days, 2.2 million the next, etc. and the %-growth would still decrease. But the %-growth must necessarily decrease over time for any sample of a finite population. This isn't true for things like money and that's why it's a more relevant metric in that context.

I'm observing a growth in numbers both on an average as well as in total
But I see that since January, the rate of growth is diminishing. Previously the growth rate was up to 20% now it is reduced to 7%; a much slower rate or less people are subscribing so to speak.

Of course it can be described as declining.

If you're doubling users every year and then you start only increasing by 50%, then your growth rate has declined.

If you're dealing with linear growth, then it wouldn't be declining, but I'm presuming the guides haven't had linear growth.

~

The term 'declining' is dependent on other variables. And for whichever ones you look at, it could be viewed as either true or false.
