Trump's Truth Social App Plummets in Traffic, Sees 93% Drop in Signups Since Launch Week

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former president Donald Trump’s Truth Social app is seeing a 93% drop in signups and similarly steep decline in traffic after a rocky rollout last month fraught with technical issues and an extensive waiting list for new signups to actually use the service.

After going live on President’s Day, the Twitter-lookalike app saw installs decline by more than 800,000 since its launch week, according to Sensor Tower. Installs on the Apple app store this month have fallen to about 60,000 per week, based on early estimates.

“This is down 93% from its launch week, when it saw 872,000 installs during the week of Feb. 21,” Stephanie Chan, mobile insights strategist at Sensor Tower, told TheWrap. “We estimate that Truth Social has so far reached approximately 1.2 million installs since its launch.”

And there is no data about how many actually use the site, which is not yet available to Android customers.

Everything Trump touches dies.

1. shocked that dipshit hasn't even posted on there since launch. Loser.

[Hoyt]

2. trump is a loser and fading fast. If only we'd let him die.

[Deuxcents]

4. I wish. All I want to ever hear about him is he's being arrested..

I’ll perk up then..the rest is just keeping him in the news.

[Hoyt]

5. Honestly, I don't even care about that. The ultimate court -- voters -- convicted him.

Now if he gets arrested, that’s a bonus, assuming it doesn’t divide country even more.

[GoodRaisin]

14. I just want him gone, period.

Blotted out. Cancelled. No more talk about him. No more chance he’ll ever be back, kind of like Rush Limbaugh gone.

[Brainfodder]

3. Didn't see that.... oh we did? OK nm.

What % is trolls and rubberneckers?

[keep_left]

6. Isn't this the one where Drumpf hasn't even posted yet?

Think about that...it's his app and even he doesn't GAF.

But the drop in traffic and signups is par for the course with these fringe apps like Gettr, Gab, and now Truth. It turns out that alt-right neo-Nazis don't like these echo chambers. They want to "troll the normies", "pwn the libs", etc. Can't do that on an alt-right circle-jerk site.

7. I'm sticking with, Devin Nunes has never been paid for his work on Truth Social.

[RockRaven]

8. These app download numbers are the max number of possible users, actual use is even tinier.

Lots of journos, pundits, etc have said they downloaded the app but couldn't sign up/were put on a wait list, and they're still waiting. App downloads are meaningless if the download ers can't make an account, and use it.

Also, only available on iphones. Android is a bit under half of the US market, and 70% of the global market. So they excluded most potential users upon launch, and still couldn't handle the volume.

9. Is TDFG even using his own app? I never read that he's posted to it . . .

Everything we hear from him these days is either press releases or interviews; he's never quoted as "posted today on TS." Hell, when even he believes it's a waste of time and good only for grifting bucks, it's no surprise people drift away from it.

10. I didn't realize they worked through their first-day sign-up queue glitch. nt

[Bristlecone]

11. He's sure got the "Shit-heel Touch"

It really does all turn to shit.

[Blue Owl]

12. Turd Social

13. The first week sign-ups were mostly Russian bots anyway.

Though I'm sure Ivanka, Jared, Don Jr., and Tucker Carlson spent hours that first week making sock puppet accounts.
