Twitter ad revenue to plummet 28% in 2023: forecast Twitter's income from advertising will fall by 28 percent in 2023, a closely watched forecast said Tuesday, as the platform struggles under the ownership of Elon Musk. Analysts at Insider Intelligence said they were slashing an earlier worldwide revenue estimate of $4.74 billion by more than a third to $2.98 billion as trust in the platform deteriorates.

Twitter no longer reports earnings publicly since Musk bought the company and took it private in late October. But Twitter reported the December 2022 revenue and earnings declines in an update to investors, according to "people familiar with the matter" cited in a Wall Street Journal report on Friday.

Doubtful. Given the lack of actual verification, it’s usefulness as a source of news will decrease as the number of imposter accounts rise. 1 hour ago, Chris farley said: Twitter no longer reports earnings publicly since Musk bought the company and took it private in late October.

So unless there is news that supports what we want to be true, we can just dismiss anything that counters our position as biased and re-assert our own position without any support.

If the reason we have so many new imposter accounts is because Twitter did away with the verification system that actually verified people, why are you confident they will fix the problem they just intentionally created?

BillsFanNC Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) Old Twitter censoring a story from the NY Post and locking their account in a brazen act of election interference?

Destroy the old system, predictably causing a rise of fraudulent accounts and fix it by restoring the old system. Truly, a genius move. We mere mortals simply cannot comprehend it.

He didn't end verification: he tried to get people to pay for it and people revolted. There's a difference. The fix is easy. Unlike what, say, AB InBev has done to their BL brand. Now that was dumb. As for losing the most money, LOL! Who GAF? He's still close to the richest man in the world. After a billion, it's all funny money anyway that he'll never be able to spend.

As for the "valid criticism," I said he was trying to make extra revenue and obviously it didn't work. So he'll go back to the old model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
