Understand this story
On October 25, 2026, Saito put forward the judgment that view counts are not real numbers; what is worth looking at is whether downloaders still open the product the next day. The same report said that a founder canceled a product launch event and instead posted one demo per day; 3 million views on Twitter brought only 7,000 downloads, while a YouTube video with 20,000 views achieved a 20% conversion rate. The report also said that he believes what is more worth looking at is how many of those 7,000 people will still open the product the next day. There are currently no subsequent developments.
