Well Twitter made about $665 million last year, with much larger projections for this year. I would say that qualifies as "decent".

Twitter lost $645 million in 2013. I'm not sure "spend $2 to make $1" necessarily qualifies as "decent".

They didn't lose $645 million in spending, it was a one time recognition of the stock they already allocated.

They've still yet to make a profit.

It's decent to all the other companies out there that are now valued in the billions of dollars for reasons unbeknownst to me.
