> Gatsby says it aims to be the platform behind 1% of websites by 2024; it claims it currently supports 0.1%.

I find it really hard to believe that they're powering 0.1% of the web at this point, that's gotta be millions of sites. The only way that figure is accurate is if they're counting all of the people spinning up tutorial sites.



Yes, this is totally misleading.

My bet is that it's not .1% of web sites, rather .1% of web traffic.

Because web content is a 1/x curve with the top few taking up all the usage ... if they have even a couple 'semi big name clients' then they could be behind 0.1% of traffic.

And maybe by 'web' they mean just USA.

And maybe by 'powered' they mean, the company 'uses gatsby somewhere' so they claim all traffic from the company in their data.

Which is kind of like Simpsons episode logic, but hey.

We need the Simpsons writing team to get together with the 'Silicon Valley' folks and make cartoons that mock startup stuff like this.
