Why do the instances keep going down? It makes me think that this is not a reliable social network, but the alternatives are not as good.

It's like a group of people standing in line for the cashier and they each buy a single peanut with cash and have a question to the manager.

I like that picture, it makes it easier to understand for people who aren't that much into computers.
