> It's a weird, twisted reality we live where 6 months is considered too long to reach 100,000 users.

I think it's not so much considered too long as considered too long when a direct competitor does it in a week.

If one platform is growing at an explosive rate and the other one is struggling to get users, there's not much you can say beyond "second platform is struggling (comparatively)"

that's true. It's not a bad thing to acquire that many users in a slower rate (just not too slow). You don't want everyone using your product in the beginning when it potentially has warts and all.
