What a pretentious (and wildly indemonstrable) take.

It is based on my experience of using this site for 12 years. You can huff about it all you please.

Not huffing at all, you basically just confirmed yourself my very affirmation: you pulled that out of thin air. Feel free to think it, still doesn't make it neither neither true, false nor demonstrable.

As to the pretentiousness of the thing, that's usually my take on people who feel fine talking about 330mil+ MAUs as a single person.

Opinion is opinion, thus me explicitly calling it opinion.

My take is honestly supported by the very concept of faulty generalization fallacy - given that you did confirm you based this claim on anecdotal evidence - if you ask me, but maybe that's just me.
