This reminds me of all of those times that people would tell you that their websites get 100k+ hits per day.

Um.. no you don't, you have 100,000 requests to your servers per day. Each page request generates a subsequent 248 requests for assets. You actually get 403 requests per day.

O wait, what's that? You are including "spiders" and other web crawlers in this statistic? What happens if you filter these out?..

100 unique visitors per day! Nice! (So you only just tried to mislead me by a factor of 1000.)

Some people need to learn how to report MAU/DAU/uniques/views/impressions.

These all mean different things.

To say you have grown 1M to 100M users is really disingenuous and a maniuplative use of ambiguity...
