> I think Twitter is here to stay.

Twitter has maybe six months but certainly not twelve before going bankrupt. It's done for. I fully agree with the analysis at https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/the-slow-sad-death-of-twitt...

Not an analysis, just speculative opinions.

It's not that I disagree with the speculation, but none of it is backed up. User stats as well as revenue are private. When you put out a strong statement like "revenue is collapsing" you deliver it as fact, whilst it's guess work.

The NY Times got hold of an internal document stating revenue was down 59% YoY.

I'd link to it but it's behind a paywall.
