It’s dead as that horse you keep beating.

naaaaah
Yeah
talking about twitter as dead is rhetorical drivel - as awareness increases across the platform, people become more alert to the nuances, intricacies, and dangers of our social protocols. talking about awareness as death is one of the digital rhetorical pitfalls of the last decade - and causes real physical endangerment to be dismissed because people cease to believe in real harm or illness. it's the source of the debate about the real dangers of the actual sars-covid-2 pathogen and actual physical deaths: ideological camps created chaos narratives to promote agendas which manipulated belief about real disease. i still know people - intelligent ones - who discuss all illness now in terms of it not being real. it's frightening - and it's a foretelling for the next wave of chronic illness in which many will hide real illness or ignore it or deny others are ill for control.
Unless you’re looking for ad space next to racism or scat porn… yeah.
That’s why you sold out.
Twitter is now worth just one-third of what
Elon Musk paid for the social-media platform, according to Fidelity, which recently marked down the value of its equity stake in the company.
Who are they to say? Have they tried to sell the stock on open market?
like many things at the moment, valuations are weaponised. there's little use in one company saying anything about another without knowing the deep ties to why they have evaluated it thusly. twitter as an entity and twitter as a company are not the same value - nor will they get a fair estimation on the open market because it's inconvenient to the status quo. the most effective means of insulation twitter could do would be to shed all unnecessary investment and have full self-custody of the company. shrinking before expanding would allow this to be possible, to buy out those who see it as a flop investment. twitter might now always appear to be the giant the other socials are - that's it's strength. allowing the market to judge unfairly works in the favor of twitter in the end of the opportunity is seized and all investors are bought out. that should be the goal.
Like I said. Twitter is dead.
I was right. You were wrong.

So… Who are you to say?
valuations require taking certain assumptions (which obviously may or may not end up being reasonable/accurate).
Here’s where I called that Twitter would be dead and buried.
