It tells you DDB’s users over time.As critical as I am of D&D 5e, this doesn't tell us anything.
If you wanted it to tell you something else, that’s on you.

At a time.So around 2,000 users out of 20 million?
Ah okay (in any given 15 minutes). Thanks!At a time.
20M users don’t spend 24/7 on DDB. That would be insane.
nothing definitive, we will need a longer timeframe for thatAs critical as I am of D&D 5e, this doesn't tell us anything.
not sure anyone said it was falling, only that this is not trending in the right direction for WotCit looks like numbers have declined from around 2200-2300 down to around 2000. That's a drop, to be sure, on the order of 10%-15%...but if this is supposed to be "the sky is falling", I don't buy it.
looks like it did not even do that thoughAnd that, IMO, reflects pretty much what I was already expecting. 5.5e, like all "revised" editions, would provide a short-term bump.
on average at any given time, not total per daySo around 2,000 users out of 20 million?
The graph shows the average number of registered users online in any given 15 minutes each week
These are two different statements.It's averaged. At 3am there were very few people. Now is peak time of the day. It's average number of people online over an entire week, not peak number of people online.
I mean it was very clear from the first like three or four posts that people were concluding "5.5e has failed to do its job, people are abandoning the game" and other such. Some see that as doom-and-gloom. Others see it as something to celebrate. Still others couldn't care less. But it was quite clear from the context that that's the immediate conclusion several people drew from this. My argument is against such conclusions, because the data simply doesn't support it.It tells you DDB’s users over time.

I mean it literally did. We can, quite clearly, see a massive bump. That means people had to subscribe, at least for a time. Given the HUGE gap immediately after the spike--and missing the 5.5e DMG spike to boot!--I genuinely don't think anything meaningful can be concluded from this at all. "Not trending in WotC's desired direction" is borderline meaningless.nothing definitive, we will need a longer timeframe for that
