Explore how leading apps like Threads, ChatGPT and Instagram skyrocketed to 1 million users, setting new digital benchmarks. Essential reading for investors.

The Great App Race to 1 Million Users.

When Meta (NASDAQ: META) launched its Threads app in July 2023, it took the digital world by storm, leveraging its Instagram user base, it secured two million users merely hours post-launch, making it the world’s fastest-growing app of all time.

Positioned as a Twitter rival, Threads offers a platform for concise posts and multimedia sharing and is designed as a space for cordial interactions. Threads’ user-friendly approach is underpinned by robust fact-checking measures, ensuring the authenticity and reliability of content. Despite the potential legal friction with Twitter over recruitment practices, Threads' initial growth success is undeniable.

Remarkably, Threads' explosive adoption surpasses even the previous record holder, ChatGPT, which itself was a sensation with a million users in five days. This achievement highlights a broader trend in the digital space where the proliferation of the internet and 5G has led to faster adoption rates for online and mobile services.

For instance, flying under the radar, the new mobile gaming app Q GamesMela achieved one million registered users in just six weeks. Incredibly, that record achievement beats giant brands like Facebook (NASDAQ: META), Spotify (NYSE: SPOT), and Dropbox (NASDAQ: DBX).

Threads, ChatGPT and Q GamesMela's performance is indicative of the evolving digital landscape. This contrasts with earlier times when services like Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) and Airbnb (NASDAQ: ABNB) took years to build a substantial user base, underscoring the accelerating pace of digital engagement in the current era.

Better still, this is not an exclusive club limited to the world's most prominent brands. Q GamesMela owner QYOU Media Inc. (TSXV: QYOU) (OTCQB: QYOUF), a US-based creator-media company operating in India and the United States, operates on a much smaller scale. Nevertheless, it still managed to smash through its early growth targets for the app, demonstrating an exceptionally strong market response. That’s a really encouraging sign for smaller industry players and investors looking for the next exciting growth opportunity.

Rapid User Growth Hints at Investment Opportunity

The Q GamesMela app swiftly met its initial milestone, amassing one million downloads in just six weeks which included doubling its user count to a million within just 12 days. The platform saw huge levels of engagement, with over ten million games played with an average weekly playtime of one hour and 35 minutes per user and delivering over one million daily ad impressions.

The team at Q GamesMela now looks forward to a promising 2024, aiming to capitalize on mobile gaming growth in India where the investment landscape is thriving. Here, the mobile gaming market is expected to grow from $2.6 billion to $8.6 billion by 2027, making India the fastest-growing gaming market in Asia. This growth is fueled by rising incomes, improved internet connectivity, and extensive smartphone usage, indicating a fertile ground for digital ventures and emerging market investment.

QYOU Media is quietly building an ecosystem of entertainment and advertising assets to leverage the booming markets created by Influencer-led content creators, mobile gaming, and connected TV to provide value for advertisers and shareholders. This aligns with the popularity and rapid growth of Free Ad-Supported television (FAST) and Connected TV, especially amongst the target audience of over 800 million young people in India.

Why Rapid User Growth Is Important for Retail Investors

Achieving one million users in record time means platforms like Threads, ChatGPT and Q GamesMela are setting new industry standards. Thus, the explosive user growth reflects a keen market appetite for innovative digital services. QYOU Media's digital TV content, being seen by over 125 million households, provides a springboard for future user growth for Q GamesMela and QYOU's other services. The future holds significant promise for this undervalued stock to chart a path toward user numbers and revenues as impressive as the other industry giants on the app growth chart.

Swift adoption rates, such as those shown in the infographic, give retail investors an indication of wider market acceptance which can lead to fruitful investments. Early user growth can also indicate the potential longevity and profitability of a platform, making these fast-growing services particularly attractive investment opportunities.
