Honestly, not sure if I did not understand the question or is it simply a very badly formed and lazy question.

All of those are measuring completely different things.

If you want to look at penetration / reach of a feature, you use “%age of users who did X”.

If you want to look at how many times an action is performed by a user in a particular segment in a given time period, then use “avg number of likes per person”.

Those could be Engagement metrics.

Engagement metrics.

Thanks for your response. I should’ve been clearer. I meant “what is the difference between a count, average and a percentage metric”. What do each type of metric communicate? For example, average metrics can communicate a trend maybe?

I found an article online that tries to help us understand better:

I just have to say that signing up for therapy (and finding my current therapist) was one of the best decisions I made in my life. I’m learning a lot about myself and how to live a happier life. I wish people could learn about these things without therapy. And I wish more people would be able to take advantage of counseling.

My parent is sick with dementia. I can tolerate high level of stress when I'm called names, sent to h... etc.. but I keep everything inside. It's been that way for a long while now.

PMs, If your company is an AWS shop, they just released two new cool features to Cloud Watch that is extremely valuable to PMs. The first one is Cloud Watch Evidently that allows for non-deployment A/B testing and the second is Cloud Watch RUM for user and performance monitoring.
