That number is inflated by adding YouTube users, which was a kind of social network with it's own kind of audience (notoriously trollish in some ways) before the shotgun wedding to G+.
My follower growth has slowed. The first product page I put on Google+ (a book about Android) got many followers quickly. Same with my personal page. The second time I put up a product page for a book, the response was much attenuated, and my follower growth has been slow and low quality. It wasn't great quality on Facebook either, but it was much faster. Maybe I need to see how well product pages would do on LinkedIn.
I started when G+ launched. 5500+ circlings, 2500+ to my first product page. Now I'm lucky if I get a single comment or +1. Meanwhile, I have 81 friends on Facebook and 10 followers, and it's a rare post that doesn't get comments and likes.
Why dont they say how many unique users create a daily post not generated from a app?
We are not talking about adding a youtube comment, uploading a photo with picasa or using the google play store. We are talking about actually using the thing.
I'm honestly not sure what to think. I post pictures that got a lot of great feedback on other places to Google+. Google+ reports that these pictures get hundreds of views, but almost no one +1s, shares, or comments.
I'm curious as to the definitions. Before I turned it off, I would see little notifications. I'd click them, and delete, or block someone. Is that active?
