New Wattpad stats here… the company has announced that they now have more than 35 million users, with a “Wattpadder in nearly every country of the world.” People are spending a 9 billion minutes a month on Wattpad with each user spending 274 minutes a month on average reading and sharing stories. To-date more than 70 million uploads have been shared on Wattpad, representing 24 hours of reading posted every single minute.
“We’re putting readers and writers first with this latest update,” said Wattpad’s Head of Product Tarun Sachdeva. “We’ve designed a simple and beautiful storytelling experience that gives users quick access to the things that matter most to them.”
The new layout is not only difficult to navigate, it also makes everything the user comment, reads, and votes on visible to everyone. So instead of meeting writers and talking to them, you instead see everything that they do. The site is no longer focused towards reading and writing. It is focused on social behavior.
hey, how many 35+million user apps have you built?
To Andrej Simeonov: That’s not the point.
