Seems they should have to be a lot clearer on what “active user” means. It could refer to just about anything: from “logged in, saw nothing of value and immediately logged out” to “sat there and scrolled through the news feed for 6 hours”.

Even if they are seeing new users, the real activity in terms of minutes per day may be down significantly and that would be hidden in these charts.
