52. Yes. Knowing the company internals is important.

Not off topic at all. I can't stand percentage stats, either, when they're not related to raw numbers. I like raw numbers. Percentages are mind tricks by media, I get that. It's why even Pew research reports bug me. Corporate media love percentages, knowing that people will often see them as numbers, and it's why people get distorted impressions of so-called problems, or the scale of things.

Here are raw numbers that show the scale of Twitter users (not necessarily accounts) in other countries.
The list below the link is just the top 20. Looks like a lot. But when account holders/posters leave, or influencers and their following leave, these numbers either drop or move to follow other posters. These numbers probably even show bot use. Even raw numbers don't tell the platform content landscape. But they do provide a sense of scale.
