Glad vanity metrics is being given a name. I've worked for one which obsessed about user signups long before we even had a product ready. It was ridiculous


I was under the impression that user sign ups is a real metric?


It's a metric but to be honest I would be more interested in daily users if it's applicable.


It's a real metric in so far as people are actually using your product. Otherwise it's just some email addresses.
