that sounds like a drop in the ocean that is fb's massive and growing userbase

Facebook growth numbers haven't been strong lately, but it's still growing [0]. With 2.3B monthly active users 15M isn't much to worry about unless a specifically profitable sub-population is doing the leaving.

In the country with the highest value per user to advertisers, yes i'd say this is a huge deal.

If it is 15M US users, that's 4.5% of the US population.
