Despite beating expectations on both the top and bottom line in its fourth quarter earnings report on Thursday morning, Twitter’s share price fell nearly 10 percent during the day. The reason for the harsh market reaction was the same old problem that the company has been having for years now: disappointing (or in this case non-existent) user growth. Twitter’s monthly active user base shrank by 9 million users in the fourth quarter compared to Q4 2017, marking the third consecutive quarter of negative growth for President Trump’s digital megaphone.
To address the problem at hand, Twitter is taking a page out of Apple’s playbook. Just like the iPhone-maker will no longer reveal unit sales for its products, presumably because it doesn’t look as good as it used to, Twitter will simply stop reporting monthly active users going forward and focus on daily active users instead, which somewhat conveniently are still growing.

Hopefully Twatter will die about as quick as it came on the scene. I listen to the radio for at least 60 min a day on my drive to and from work. One day, like a light switch, the people on the stations start talking about tweeting this or that non-stop. Almost like limitless funding was given to the media to promote this thing.
I have anti-social media personality disorder.
Does anyone here remember the VERY SPECIFIC niche Twitter originally filled?
It’s original claim to fame was allowing users to blog directly to the Internet from their dumb phone via SMS message.
That’s it.
Nothing more.
Nothing less.
It should have died a quiet death ages ago.
Look at the contrived, political, intelligence-agency sponsored shitshow it has grown into.
No QoverQ growth. That’s TERRIFIC news! Again! Twitter will soon see only nutbags (dembeciles) using the raging far-Left platform. Shorting this dog will be a pleasure in the near future. Hammer this dog!
Suspending 1/4 of your users because of their political beliefs hasn’t helped their numbers.
i bet the guy who invented twitter will be happy –from what i understand he was a bit naive & did not patent it,and has never received any $ from twitter–
