A new social pipeline in the making…, page-2

I know you are really bullish about TNY, as it apparent by all your recent posts

IMHO, they have yet to establish themselves as a social media network per your comparisons to Facebook and Snap. As we can see by the lagging user growth, TNY has not created a network effect, and much of that has to do with privacy. Parents don’t want to post their baby photos on a social network, they want to privately share with a limited number of family and friends. As such, it is difficult to grow users to the scale of FB or Snap without a network effect (see Dave Morin, Path).

That said, TNY has build a solid ad/media business, and if they can improve the app/photo product offering and grow paid subscriptions, I think many of us will be quite happy.
