I've never heard how something that has no ads and no user fees can stay afloat, regardless of how many people use it. Where is the operating money coming from? It seems like it has just been a huge pyramid scheme all along, with some relatively small amount to start it, and then the stock sales keep pumping money into it, but ultimately, it HAS to collapse, if there is no actual revenue stream.
It’s the nature of the financial markets. All these companies trade at a multiplier from what they’re actual revenue or earnings are - which is indicative on how ‘healthy’ the company is.
For the longest time, Amazon kept losing a shit tonne of money because their operating expenses were so high (they kept reinvesting into infrastructure, etc). Now Amazon basically controls the eCommerce sector and Cloud services.
The stock market is entirely all speculation. You’re not really a shareholder UNLESS you purchase your shares via DSPP (basically directly from the company). If you use a Broker, you really don’t own these shares. It’s like storing Gold in someone else’s vault.
It’s actually quite fake if you look into it, but only because it’s not a free market economy. The Gov printing money IS the root of all these issues.
It appears to all be play money at this point, and only those left NOT holding actual items like real estate and gold/silver, will be left with essentially nothing when it all gets settled, which would be 99.99% of the population.
Twitter makes it's revenue from ads and selling user data generally. Twitter has historically had a problem producing net profit, but for a while recently there's been a number of net profitable quarters for Twitter. It's not total losses, cuz they do bring in a crap load of money from selling ads displayed on Twitter and in people's feeds and selling user data. It's just that they have not reliably produced net profit despite their big revenue stream.
The ads must be subliminal, because I've never noticed them :) (now I need to look when I check the site (I only look at twitter posts when on a laptop, so perhaps ads don't appear there?))
If you have an AdBlock on your laptops web browser, then there's a good chance they wouldn't show up when you see. They definitely show up on mobile and in one's feed in general. Twitter does make their ads look like genuine posts often though, similar to how Facebook has made ads look like just another post on your timeline. So, almost subliminal if you're not paying attention and you think it's just a post of some random thing one follows lol.
That would support Sundance's theory that our government is supporting Twitter's otherwise non-profitable enterprise.

Unless you DRS your shares, then they are yours.
Yes that too.

They are part of the propaganda arm. Along with Facehive and Evil Google. And Amazon.
I agree and I think many other global corporations might be in the same situation.
