Which of those two is the one optimising for future revenue?

Not trying to be a smart arse - it’s just that the obvious pick (Twitter) has been aiming for revenue from the beginning and haven’t really delivered.

Twitter.

>has been aiming for revenue from the beginning and haven’t really delivered.

In 2021 twitter had 5.08 billion dollars of revenue. Their ad revenue divided by DAU was about $20. No mastodon instance is close to getting $20 per active user per year.
