    As easy as it is to hate what he did to Twitter I wonder how much of that original value was just “VC hype” and now people see it for the failure it has always been like all social media in a way. Turns out it’s pretty hard making money out of non paying users.

      I think alienating all the advertisers probably didn’t help much either.

        Man now I’m wondering who are the nerds holding up that last 29% of value it has. i can’t imagine that many people paying for verification.

        Whoever you are: just let go~ let Xitter sink unceremoniously into the abyss~

      The original value was based on ad revenue which is down now. It has nothing to do with VC hype or non paying users.
