He might retain something like a single digit percentage of users, but that would still be a lot more than if he started from scratch.

How often websites/apps that were really good at some point, rose back from dead to glory?

Well, not often, no. I'm not really expecting that to happen with Twitter, I just think it IS a possibility. How many websites/apps that were as big as Twitter have totally disappeared?

GeoCities, Myspace are the two biggest I can think of.

I'd argue neither was anywhere near as big as twitter. In terms of users, maybe — I have no idea. But in terms of reach and influence? I don't think so.

I think regardless numbers, it is usually a slow burn for situations like these. And probably plenty of people will probably not see a space to fill and try their luck. Hopefully, one of them will work.
