Holy hell, the app is two weeks old, there are tens of thousands of tweets about it every day, and it has $20 million dollars in the bank. Is this really what we're calling "dying" now? Because if so, pretty much every other consumer product since the beginning of time is fucked.

I haven't turned off Meerkap notifications on my phone, mostly out of sheer curiosity, and I am seeing literally hundreds of meerkat streams per day of my followers. Apparently you don't have to be at the top of the chart to get hundreds of thousands of downloads (not to mention the app being featured by the app store).

This is such shitty journalism I can't even stand it. Let's have a substantive discussion about a product, but calling it "dead" is bullshit clickbait and even the author must know it.
