TikTok users have been deleting the app at a higher rate since the company announced that its U.S. operations would be housed in a new joint venture.
The short-form video platform’s daily average app uninstalls in the U.S. have increased nearly 150% over the past five days compared with the previous three months, market intelligence firm Sensor Tower told CNBC.


Wow. That is a giant number. The change made was not good.
If previously there we 1’000 uninstalls per day, not there are 1’500. Relative numbers like that are useless.
No, your example is only a 50% increase. A 150% increase of 1000 is 2500.
I did not specify the % so I am save :3
Assuming cnbc clickbait headlines can math of course. Bold assumption.
My comment wasn’t about the article, it was about the other commenter’s bad math. But the article does actually say it increased by 150%.
Yup, my comment wasn’t about your good math, it was about my low expectations of the source :)
If they’re “up 150%” then it’s now 2500.
Correct, but I did not specify the % so I am save :3
