They seem to heavily invest in their social media presence with things like the YouTube channel, but then also use social media indicators (likes/follows/subs/etc) as a measure of success. Seems a little circular.
The plot of Github Stars over Time: Supabase vs. MongoDB seems particularly silly (imo).
Not a hater by the way, I think their YouTube channel is actually pretty good, and I think it will become increasingly common for startups/businesses to have something like this for product/brand awareness, getting users up and running, etc.
I think if the goal of the post was focusing on platform maturation and growth, it might have been better to focus exclusively on the plots of database/users over time, and simply link out to the various social channels.
Overall though still cool to see, and congratulations to the Supabase team!
