The article is missing a subject to the "decline" and I presume the "people" that you are talking about are "investors". Twitter is growing year over year (YoY); but the rate at which its user base is growing YoY is slowing down or declining. At an already large user base, having exponential growth is just hard. But other similar category companies of similar magnitude of user size are doing well. So it just looks like Twitter is not growing fast enough to justify funds pouring money into TWTR. The earnings multiplier is simply not there for TWTR. Here's a nice graph that summarizes recent relative growth pattern: https://www.statista.com/chart/3200/twitters-user-growth-compared-to-facebooks/ https://www.statista.com/chart/3200/twitters-user-growth-com...
