How would this help Twitter increase user count or revenue?

Turning Twitter around doesn't mean fixing annoyances for current users. I agree with all of your points, but I'm already a user.

The problem:

1) Many people have already tried Twitter and gotten confused, then left. How does Twitter get them to try again?

2) How do you increase revenue per user? How do you monetize on the massive accounts (e.g. @POTUS)?

3) How do you improve engagement beyond news, politics, and internet arguments?

I think my list does address #3, at least somewhat. I don't have answers for #1 and #2, except hoping that if #3 is addressed people will give it another try.
