Why is Twitter's stock so shit? It hasn't made a lasting

>>1815605
Because the company doesn't consistently turn a profit out of any of it's shitty departments including advertising (it's bread and butter). It's a cool concept but it's ran by an unbelievably fucking daft CEO who hasn't put together any real plan to turn the company into one which makes money quarter over quarter. It'll probably get bought by FB in a few years if it lives that long.

How? So many fuckers are on it and most people who use twitter are probably too dumb for adblock.

WHO CARES!!! THERES THOUSANDS OF OTHER STOCKS. GTFO AND BTFO!!!

They don't have a real business model.

I am pretty sketpical at this point in time, like you. But there is some interesting reasons for keeping Twitter. President Trump alone makes for an interesting case for twitter never dying and there are a lot of uses for twitter now as an information network. The issue is that is all there is right now. My guess is some unknown technology not discovered yet, will revolutionize Twitter, but it could be tomorrow, or a decade from now.

If you need gains now I would exit with your losses, but if you have time I would hold onto it.

Oh, I don't own stock in it. Most of my investments are low risk, and I don't like twitter enough to support them so I wouldn't give them my money.

It's just...everything and its sister says 'follow us on twitter', so you'd think that they'd be raking in the cash from this somehow.

its a hard platform to monetize.

how do you incorporate ads without pissing everyone off / introducing competitors who dont feature ads?

cultural value does not translate well here.

Read up here and see if you can't find the issue. It's there, I promise.

Which adds how much value to their bottom line? Usefulness alone doesn't equate to positive cash flow.

Prob best answer here

because they have yet to turn a profit

Its starting to wear out its welcome. There's some much toxicity on it and the unending political shit flinging seems to finally be exhausting everyone who isn't an extremist True Believer.

If you're an advertiser do you want your product's copy sandwiched between the inane ramblings of a NEET /pol/ neo Nazi and some victim-complex rich girl from the suburbs who pretends to be a rape victim? Probably not.

Its real use is as the new, 21st century, AP news ticker. All your sports, culture, finance etc. news self curated and delivered instantly. I'm a big Chicago White Sox fan and avid follower of the baseball hot stove, and for those things Twitter is seriously extraordinary for bringing instant information. It reminds me of the potential the platform has when its not so trashy and opinionated.

So yea, I wouldn't invest until its userbase grows up.

They care more about censoring posts they don't like than making money.

It's different from other tech companies. Other meme tech companies are either already making massive profits (Facebook, etc.) or have the capacity to translate their shit immediately into profits. Twitter is actively trying to turn a profit and is failing by a long shot.

The fundamental issue is that while it's a nice tool for media, it's shit for advertisers, which is what really matters. Customer lifetime value for customers acquired from Twitter is roughly 25-30% lower than average.
Combine that with the fact that it gives basically no real, monetizable analytics on actual people and you end up with a clusterfuck of a meme company. They need some serious vision to turn it around, and what we have right now is a guy more concerned about censoring internet virgins.

At one point in time, every advertisement had an "AOL keyword", too

>>1815605
I hope they continue to be shit... I bought $15 PUTS for Jan 2018 last year

They don't have a P/E. They're operating at a loss. They don't have a very innovative product. They can't expand their user base.

I'd love to hear one of their board of directors meetings. Like what the hell are they even doing at this point
