I am going through the hiring process of Twitter. Before I take it seriously, I wanted to understand whether Twitter has any upside left.

Twitter revenue source is mainly Ads. For Ads, you need users, demographic, engagement (interaction), and Time on App/Website. Twitter is doing bad on all four aspects -

- Its user base is not growing. It has its fanbase which uses the app, but most of the people I interact with are not using Twitter at all.
- Not able to attract the next generation of users.
- The 140 character limit, no support for threaded conversation makes engagement pretty low. Even the CEO has to put a screenshot of text for his departure announcement.
- Most people use twitter to navigate to other contents. Time on Twitter app/website is pretty limited.

The toxicity on the platform with more liberal agenda is making advertisers less interested overall. The stock is still at its IPO price even after 8 years. And the people I met during initial interviews did not gave me a good feeling about the company.

      The interesting thing, amazon, is a lot of these right wing posters seem to be immigrants (I am an immigrant myself so I’m sensitive to this personally) themselves. People who bring their toxic racist villager values here to the US, who are totally ignorant about the history and politics of the US, and who only care about money/taxes on the richest people and vote accordingly

    I honestly believe that the world would be a better place if Twitter did not exist.

    • Also insta is getting super popular in india. (Perhaps because tiktok is banned and Facebook is old and boring now)

      Twitter is a cancer. That idiot that no one pays attention to at your work is one of the 2% most vocal on twitter and has their inflammatory comment posted on by some main stream news network to validate their idiot opinion. The cycle continues.

    Best to ask this to the hiring manager.

    I only use Twitter to complain to a company to get help. It is a place where liberals go to be heard and a one side platform, that is why many have left.
